AMERICA’S PARKS II is an exhibition competition open to all artists, the purpose of which is to recognize and promote excellence in original artworks depicting any park (national, state, provincial, county, city, or private) in Canada, Mexico and The United States.

Unlike the inaugural exhibition of America’s Parks Through the Beauty of Art, the primary theme of AMERICA’S PARKS II will be parks of the southwest, specifically parks of the Southwestern U.S. & Northwestern Mexico. Art depicting parks in other locations throughout North America (Canada, Mexico, The United States) will be eligible for the online exhibit of PARKS II and awards. However, the traveling exhibit will be comprised primarily if not entirely of art depicting parks in the Southwestern U.S. & Northwestern Mexico, including (in alphabetical order) Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah; and States in Northwestern Mexico, particularly, Sonora.

Also new for PARKS II will be the eligibility of sculpture.

AMERICA’S PARKS II will premiere in Bolivar, Missouri from March 16 – April 13, 2014 at the Ella Carothers Dunnegan Gallery of Art; it will also be displayed at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ from September 13 – October 26, 2014. One or more additional venues may be added to the tour.

The following is a confirmed list of awards for PARKS II:

  • America’s Parks Sculpture Award
  • The Michael C. and Priscilla V. Baldwin Foundation Sonoran Desert Art Award
  • Susan Kathleen Black Foundation Floral Art Award
  • PleinAir™ Magazine Juror’s Choice Award
  • The Society of Animal Artists Wildlife Art Award
  • Wildlife Art Journal Juror’s Choice Award

Additional awards are possible pending funding.

Selections will be made by a professional jury consisting of: Pam Dean Cable, Executive Director, Susan Kathleen Black Foundation; M. Stephen Doherty, Editor, PleinAir™ Magazine; and Todd Wilkinson, Managing Editor, Wildlife Art Journal.

The early entry deadline, with reduced entry fees, is: August 31, 2013

The standard entry deadline is: October 15, 2013
