Das Monmouth Museum: BLOOM

The Monmouth Museum presents BLOOM, a juried group exhibition celebrating renewal, growth, and the beauty of the natural world. Open exclusively to current Monmouth Museum Artist Members aged 18 or older, the call invites up to two original, wall‑mounted artworks per artist that are framed, wired, and ready to hang. Submissions are accepted digitally via Submittable from July 6 to August 31, 2026, with a deadline of August 31, 2026 (Submittable closes on September 1, 2026 at 6:00 AM). Selected works will be displayed in the Museum’s Main Gallery from September 20 to October 18, 2026, and will remain on view as the backdrop for the DINOSAURS: The World of Giants exhibition through January 2027. All exhibited pieces must be available for purchase; the Museum handles sales and retains a 30 % commission, paying artists within two weeks of purchase. Four juror awards of $100 each and five honorable mentions are offered. No entry fee is required for members. Artists are responsible for insurance and packing during transit, and must arrange return shipping after the exhibition concludes. The exhibition provides significant exposure to thousands of visitors and professional curatorial oversight by the Museum’s Executive Director.
