24th National Fine Art Show

The Peninsula Art League's annual juried show, now in its 24th year, returns to the Gig Harbor Vintage Aero Museum — a hangar of restored vintage aircraft that the League has turned into an exhibition venue. Photography and digital art are judged alongside two- and three-dimensional work, and the two jurors come from Pacific Northwest museums: Jessica Wilks, Director of Curatorial and Interpretation at Tacoma Art Museum, who has led curatorial teams for more than twenty years and shapes TAM's commitment to artists of the region; and Greg Robinson, Chief Curator at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, formerly director of the Museum of Northwest Art and a Betty Bowen Award committee member. More than $8,500 in cash prizes will be awarded. Open to artists 18 and over anywhere in the country; work must be original, made in the last two years, and not produced in a class or workshop. AI tools may be used in a supporting role for editing or minor enhancement but may not generate the artwork. Nudes, religious symbols, political themes and extreme violence will not be considered. All work must be for sale with a 15% commission; 2D pieces need D-rings and taut wire, no sawtooth hangers. Shipped work is accepted, at a $20 handling fee per piece. Jurying finishes 27 October and everyone is notified by 29 October. The show runs 14 November – 2 December 2026.
