2025 SALON AT THE TRITON: 2D ART COMPETITION & EXHIBITION
A CALL TO CALIFORNIA ARTISTS!
Entry Deadline: March 21, 2025
Whether you're creating art every day, a bit rusty but getting back into it, or a new artist to the scene, we want you to show off your work.​
Every year, the Triton Museum of Art hosts this competition with the purpose of giving California artists the space to exhibit their work, celebrate their efforts, and - especially for newer emerging artists - the opportunity to have their work seen by more members of the community. Open to all artists in California.
​
Of course, we also love a little friendly competition. This is a place award competition. The grand prize winner of the competition, The Best in Show, will be awarded a solo exhibition in one of the Triton Museum's galleries the following year. Entries will be accepted in the following categories: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, and Mixed Media*
*(see Instructions for Mixed Media eligibility).
