2022 Marks the 14th Annual UArt Open, and the 3rd UArt Open Virtual Exhibition!
There were hundreds of submissions in the five categories: Oil/Acrylic, Drawing/Pastel, Watercolor, Mixed Media & Emerging Artists, so it was a real challenge for our juror to narrow the field to the best of the best. Those of you who attended the virtual presentation Friday afternoon, 10/22, got to hear juror Kelly Detweiler’s explanation as to why each winning piece was selected.
We want to thank everyone who made this year’s Open possible, especially the artists who graciously shared their creative work, along with our esteemed juror, Kelly Detweiler. It really does take a village : )
We’ve included the winning entries below, as well as a link to a pdf of all of the finalists at the bottom of this page.
We look forward to seeing your amazing work
in the 2023 Open!
