National Juried Exhibition

Lycoming College Downtown Art Gallery

The Lycoming College Art Gallery, located in downtown Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is seeking submissions for their National Juried Exhibition, opening March 4, 2022. We are interested in all types of work, especially those that address contemporary issues and concerns, use traditional materials in unusual ways, explore non-traditional processes, and/or challenge our community’s point of view. 

This exhibition will be juried and curated by students in our upcoming class, “Museum Studies: Histories and Practices,” and administered by Erin L. McCutcheon, PhD (Assistant Professor of Art History, Lycoming College) and Rose Hodges (Director, Lycoming College Art Gallery).
