SPRING 2025

Dear members, associates, and friends,

Spring! It always brings us joy. It is not a coincidence that our newsletter and call for entries happen at this time. New opportunities arise for our 112th edition of our annual juried exhibition. This year, I am proud to announce our new museum venue, the Reading Public Museum. The Reading Public Museum is an amazing venue in Pennsylvania. Our catalog chair, Steve Scheuring, who is local to the Reading Public Museum, wrote a wonderful article for this newsletter about our new venue; just scroll down to read more.

This year our call for submissions opens on March 15th and closes June 17th. There will be no deadline extensions, so please plan accordingly. Please see our prospectus for more details. I want to specifically mention that we do not accept AI art or images that are doctored using AI (Artificial Intelligence). All works invited to exhibit at the Reading Public Museum will be selected from our online show. If you happen to be invited into our museum exhibition, please make sure the image in our online show accurately represents the work of art you bring to the live exhibition. If it does not match the image in our online show, you will be disqualified. Associate, elected members, and non-members are juried this year. Our entry fee is $65 for the first entry and $15 for a second entry. We choose one entry per artist. Submissions are open; to enter, click here:

Good luck! We have a lot of awards that are high in monetary value. Don’t wait to enter; it is a good idea to submit early.

Lastly, I want to extend a thank you to all our elected members and associates for your patronage. This is an exceptional group of artists. You are part of something important. Your support enables Allied to continue its mission of championing artists. The members of the board are also the reason Allied survives. On behalf of all our members, I thank them for their service. A toast to many, many more years of Allied Artists of America.

With warm regards,

Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso

President
