Honeywell Arts & Entertainment is calling for entries for artists currently enrolled in a higher education program in Indiana for its inaugural University Art Exhibition – A statewide juried exhibition focusing on currently enrolled college students who are seeking an Associate’s, Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in any field of fine art and/or craft. Students pursuing other degrees are welcome to apply but should consider the competitive nature of this call. Jurors will be considering works of the highest artistic quality and merit, regardless of individual degree path. Awards will be announced at the Closing Reception. It is encouraged that artists attend the reception, but not required.

The Clark Gallery, located in the Honeywell Center, Wabash, IN, hosts at least 10 exhibits per year and features students, amateurs, and professionals. Because the Gallery encompasses the semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 170,000 guests per year!

Honeywell Arts & Entertainment encompasses the full range of arts opportunities and venues of The Honeywell Foundation, a nonprofit public arts charity in Wabash, Indiana. The organization is dedicated to providing arts, education, and entertainment opportunities for all. Offerings take place at six venues: the Honeywell Center, Honeywell House, Eagles Theatre, Charley Creek Gardens, Dr. James Ford Historic Home, and the 13-24 Drive In. Programs are made possible by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts: a federal agency, and by generous donors.
