Member Virtual Exhibition

2025 Member Virtual Exhibition

The purpose of the Member Virtual Exhibition (MVE) is to provide the opportunity for members to participate in a statewide, juried competition of their peers. FAEA proudly sponsors this exhibition to foster and encourage our members as working artists, and we celebrate their accomplishments! All jurors are professionals in the visual arts field with expertise in the evaluation of artwork for exhibition. 

2025 Member Virtual Exhibition Rules & Eligibility:

Artworks for the Member Virtual Exhibition are juried on a sliding scale.

The composition is original, imaginative, and inventive. The work as a whole addresses complex visual or conceptual ideas with excellent success.
