Nominations for Heartland’s Invitational Exhibition

Heartland Art Club’s Invitational Exhibition was created to bring together top representational artists from around the country with a focus on the Central US. The event is designed to recognize artwork of outstanding quality created by artists whose body of work deserves national attention. We welcome nominations for artists who exemplify excellence in their craft and inspire others through their work.

Our next Invitational will take place in 2026, and we invite you to submit a nomination for consideration. Anyone may submit a nomination, including self-nominations. We are looking for artists with:

  • A consistent body of exceptional artwork
  • Representational art that showcases skill and mastery
  • Work that inspires other artists to pursue excellence
  • Residence within the U.S., preferably in the Central U.S.
