The El Paso Museum of Art and the Museo de Arte Juarez announce the Border Art Biennial 2010, the first juried exhibition to examine and highlight the often under-represented, but vital art and artists from the states on the US/Mexico border: Arizona, Baja California, California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Mexico, Nuevo León, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Texas. The exhibition will open on November 14, 2010, and it will close on February 13, 2011. To emphasize the notion of collaboration, each Museum will exhibit one of two artworks by every artist selected. All works included will be reproduced in the accompanying exhibition catalogue. Jurors are: Rita Gonzalez, Assistant Curator in the Department of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Itala Schmelz, Director at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil. At least two works of art must be submitted. Maximum of three works can be submitted. Entries must have been created within the last 2 years. Applicants must be at least 18 years or older and be a resident of one of the border states. Deadline for entries: 31 January 2010. Info: www.elpasotexas.gov
