The 2025 AMoA BIENNIAL-600 is the eleventh iteration of an ongoing series of juried biennial exhibitions exploring areas of artistic practice, material, and content.  Previous Biennial-600 exhibition focuses included Drawing (’05), Clay (‘07), Glass (‘09), Figurative Painting (‘11), Printmaking (‘13), Sculpture (’15), Architecture (’17), Textile/Fiber ('19), Justice-Equality-Race-Identity ('21), and an open call for all media in 2023.  This year, the AMoA staff and Board of Trustees are once again excited to offer the museum’s exhibition spaces to artists working across all materials and genres.

ENTRY GUIDELINES

Artists must be 18 years of age or older and reside within a 600-mile radius of Amarillo, Texas.

Artists may submit images or videos of up to three artworks with a maximum of two additional detail images of each work.

ELIGIBLE WORKS

Artists working with any materials or genres are encouraged to apply. Artists whose work could be sited outdoors are encouraged to submit proposals, as are artists with installation-based practices (though the nature of the museum’s interior spaces does impose limits).  Artists whose work requires exceptionally challenging handling or installation may be required to assist with installation on-site.

The AMoA will publish a catalog/brochure to document the exhibition.  Four awards will be chosen by the juror: Best of Show, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place.  Images of these works will be included in the publication.  Each participating artist will receive two copies of the AMoA BIENNIAL-600 catalog/brochure.

The museum does not take a commission on works sold as a result of the exhibition. Interested buyers will be referred directly to the artist.

TRANSIT AND LIABILITY

Artists whose work(s) are accepted into the exhibition are responsible for shipping or hand-delivering artwork(s) to and from the museum.  Artworks that are shipped to AMoA must include a prepaid return address label.

Artists are responsible for insuring their artworks in transit.  The works included in the exhibition will be insured while in AMoA’s possession. AMoA is not responsible for loss during transit or damage due to improper packing.  As a courtesy, please refrain from using Styrofoam peanuts as packing material.
