Welcome to the Honeywell Annual Fine Art Exhibition! This competition is just one way that the Clark Gallery supports lifelong engagement in the visual arts. The Clark Gallery hosts exhibits throughout the year and features students, amateurs, and professionals.

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!

The Clark Gallery is open: Monday – Friday 8 am – 5 pm. Additional hours during events at the Honeywell Center.

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. Programs are made possible by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts: a federal agency, and by generous donors.

Application Requirements

Mediums Accepted
Painting
Drawing
Other Art Forms

An artist can enter into all categories.
The Drawing category makes use of any number of drawing instruments. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, or various metals like silverpoint. Pastel artists who fill the surface as a painter are allowed to display in the painting category.
The Other Art Forms category is for any medium that does not fit into the Drawing or Painting category, except for photography which does not qualify for this competition. This is not meant to discredit the art form of photography. It is because we host a photography competition every fall.
Prints of an original cannot be entered (including giclées); only the original artwork will be allowed.

Presentation Standards
Each wall-hung entry must be framed and have a hanger. The only exception is “gallery-wrapped” canvas. If these canvases are unframed, the image must bleed over the edges and no staples can be exposed. The best hanging device is a wire strung between two metal eyehooks. A saw tooth hanger is acceptable, but not recommended. Honeywell Arts & Entertainment is not responsible for damage to artwork due to hanging device failure.
Three-dimensional work must be stable. Artwork that requires suspension from the ceiling, water, perishable food or electricity is prohibited.
Submissions must be no taller than 8.5 ft. tall, no more than 2 ft in depth, no more than 5 ft wide.

Accepted Work
• HAE staff reserves the right to remove any works from the exhibition based on special installation circumstances or discrepancies between the juried images and actual work.
• All artwork must be original and completed within five years of the entry deadline.
• The Clark Gallery is a public space. The subject matter of entries must be appropriate for all ages. 
• All accepted work must remain on display until the end of the exhibition.

• It is the artist’s responsibility to obtain a model release from recognizable subjects in portraits and provide the release upon request.

• Work may be offered for sale or be designated as not for sale. HAE retains a 20% commission on all sales.
