The Arts & Science Center will host a free, public opening reception for its “2023 Irene Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition” from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, July 20, with remarks and awards at 6 p.m.

This prestigious exhibition continues to provide an opportunity for established and up-and-coming artists in the mid-South to gain recognition and earn prizes. Artists from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas are invited to apply.

Juror Dr. Rachel Trusty selected 35 works for the exhibition and will award best in show, first place, second place, and three merit awards. Trusty is an artist, educator, and curator. She holds a Ph.D. and a Master of Arts degree in women, gender, and sexuality studies from the University of Kansas, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Lesley College in Boston.

The exhibition will remain on view in the William H. Kennedy Jr. Gallery at ASC, 701 S. Main St., through Saturday, Oct 14. Gallery admission is always free. The exhibition is supported in part by The Arts & Science Center Endowment Fund and the Irene Rosenzweig Endowment Fund. The reception is sponsored by ASC volunteer group Art Krewe and MK Distributors.
