Texas Juried Exhibitions Offer Emerging Artists Visibility and Cash Prizes

In Texas, annual juried art exhibitions play a crucial role for up-and-coming artists lacking gallery representation. Prominent examples are the New Texas Talent at Craighead Green Gallery, which welcomes artists aged 18 and above, and the Annual Texas Juried Exhibition at Artspace111, featuring substantial cash prizes. For the 2026 exhibitions, Daisha Board will serve as the juror for the 33rd New Texas Talent, while Terri Provencal will oversee the 13th Annual Texas Juried Exhibition. Participation in New Texas Talent can result in media exposure and gallery opportunities. Artspace111 offers a total of $20,000 in prizes, including a $10,000 grand prize, alongside a $150 honorarium for each selected artist. Submission deadlines are May 24 for New Texas Talent and June 1 for the Annual Texas Juried Exhibition.
