Osage Nation Museum Announces Open Call for Artists

Pawhuska, OK (1/12/2016) – The Osage Nation Museum (ONM) announces an open call for Osage Artists to submit work for exhibition consideration at the Museum. The Osage Nation Museum accepts submissions for art in any media. Artists may propose specific works or provide work samples representing current/pending projects.

Exhibition availability is contingent upon quality of work and exhibition schedule. At any given time, the exhibition schedule is a year in advance. While curatorial staff also plan exhibitions apart from received submissions, we consider an open submission policy key to the process of ongoing curatorial and cultural research.

Hallie Winter, Curator at the Osage Nation Museum said, “We are excited to launch this component of our curatorial programming. It is important to give Osage Artists a platform to exhibit their work, when they have often been underrepresented. The amount of talent our Osage artists have is staggering and the Osage Nation Museum would like to start showcasing the contemporary work that these artists have to offer. We hope that the Museum will become an incubator for emerging Osage artists of all mediums.”
