UMMA Director George Kinghorn states, “We are looking forward to the kickoff of this innovative exhibition and expect to see a great number of exceptional submissions from artists working in these states. This stretch along Interstate 95 runs through major hubs of artistic production and will provide a glimpse into the diversity of creative practice in the region.”

The exhibition is open to professional artists working in varied media including painting, photography, sculpture, video, drawings, and prints and will be reviewed through artist submissions. The Museum will begin accepting submissions for the I-95 Triennial Invitational on Monday, September 21, 2009. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 16, 2009.
