The 48th Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper

September 12 through October 30, 2020

Brand Library & Art Center in Glendale, California announces its 48th Annual National Juried Exhibition of Works on Paper. Cash awards total over $4,000 including a Juror’s Award.  All accepted artworks will be included in an online gallery and a printed exhibition catalog. This year we welcome as our juror Dan McCleary, a Los Angeles-based figurative artist who has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad for the past 30 years. His works are included in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York among many others. In addition to his own practice, he has taught painting and drawing at UCLA and USC and in 2012 was an artist-in-residence at the Getty Center. In 2010, McCleary founded Art Division, a non-profit dedicated to training and supporting under-served youth who are committed to studying the visual arts.

Brand 48 is organized by the Associates of Brand Library & Art Center, an all-volunteer non-profit that raises funds to support the extensive free and public events offered at Brand including gallery exhibitions, classical and popular music performances, film screenings, dance performances, and activities for people of all ages. Entry fees and sales from Brand 48 will be used to continue the important cultural programming that Brand Library & Art Center brings to the community.
