RAA&M NATIONAL 2023 ACCEPTED ARTISTS
What is the RAA&M National 2023 Show?
RAA&M National 2023 is an invitational for artists across the United States to exhibit artwork crafted in a wide and diverse number of media (drawing, mixed media, collage, photography, painting, digital art and sculpture) at the prestigious Rockport Art Association & Museum. It is a unique opportunity to engage in true cultural exchange: introducing new artistic influences from beyond the Cape Ann region to local artists and the public alike while simultaneously presenting the talents of our native Cape Ann artists to the nation at large.
The submitted artworks are selected through a rigorous digital jurying process, with winning pieces being juried in person and awarded monetary prizes ranging from $250 to $5,000. Many regionally – and nationally – recognized artists participate in this show year after year in what has become the crown jewel in the Cape Ann art scene’s yearly calendar of events!
