The Elkhart Juried Regional Exhibition is a major survey of current trends by artists from 20 northern Indiana counties and four southern Michigan counties. This year 200 artists submitted 345 works in all media for the judges’ consideration. The exhibition features 144 works of art by 115 of those artists. It was juried by Nick Antonakis, Chair & Professor of Visual Art at Grand Rapids Community College; and Shaun Dingwerth, Executive Director at the Richmond Art Museum.

Since 1979, the museum has provided over $750,000 in award monies to regional artists. This exhibition, as those in the past, provides an exciting survey of the most current art being produced throughout the Michiana region.

The exhibition will be on view at the Midwest Museum of American Art through Dec. 23.
