2026 Juried Art Exhibition

Published: February 24, 2026

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍøâ€™s (CWI) Visual and Performing Arts department is excited to host the 10th-annual Juried Art Exhibition, which takes place during the College’s Connections Conference. 

Submissions are accepted for the 2026 Juried Art Exhibition through March 20. All currently registered students are encouraged to participate — the winner will receive $400! To learn more about submissions and guidelines, please visit the Juried Art Exhibition page. 

2026 Art Exhibition Juror 

This year’s juror is Jill Storey, an American pastellist whose work is inspired by the complexities of the human form and the Northwest landscape. Through subtle details and the interplay of light and shadow, Storey explores how mood and perception are shaped within a composition. 

Storey earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Saint Mary’s College in Indiana and continues to refine her practice through workshops and online sessions. She has received grants and scholarships from the Alexa Rose Foundation and the Idaho Commission on the Arts. Her work has been featured in juried exhibitions nationwide, including the Galleries of the National Arts Club in New York, the Sun Valley Museum of Art in Idaho, and the Brea Gallery in California.  

An award-winning pastellist, Storey has earned recognition in numerous regional and national exhibitions and competitions. She is a Signature Member of both the Northwest Pastel Society and the Pastel Society of the West Coast, and her work is held in the permanent collection of the Idaho State Historical Society as well as private collections across the country. 

You can see Storey’s work on display at the gallery on the second floor of (NCAB) near room 206 until March 9.

°ä°Â±õ’s Connections Conference event is Thursday, April 23. For questions or more information, please contact Goran Fazil at goranfazil@cwi.edu
