FAR & WIDE National

AWARDS: Arthur Harris Best in Show, $500

Introduced in 2017, FAR & WIDE National is open to artists living anywhere in the United States. Because of its importance in the WAAM program as our flagship national show, the jurors are paramount to this exhibit and they alone establish the framework used to choose the work. This year’s jurors are Jackie Hoving and Andrew Prayzner, Co-directors of Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York. TSA is a network of independently operated, artist-run exhibition spaces with locations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Greenville, SC.
