Call Description

The 61st Stockton Art League juried exhibition returns to the Haggin Museum in 2022. Originally conceived  in 1951 to recognize, promote and reward excellence in Northern California art, it has since grown to be a  national juried competition exhibiting 2D and 3D artworks at the Haggin Museum. The exhibition is a  major fundraiser for the Stockton Art League, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to provide art education and development of the visual arts for all ages in Stockton and San Joaquin County. 

The Haggin Museum, an art and history Museum, has been referred to by Sunset Magazine as one of the  under sung gems of California. It contains more than 34,000 square feet of exhibit space, twice as large as  it was on opening day in 1931. Its art collection features works by such noted 19th-century painters as Albert Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, J.C. Leyendecker, as well as many other  American and European artists. In 2017, the Haggin underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation including  new wall and floor treatments, and new LED lighting in the gallery. The impressive brick building has stood  in the center of Stockton’s lush Victory Park for 89 years, but it’s what’s on the inside that makes it worth  visiting.
