The International Museum of Art is thrilled to announce that the Call to Artists for our Sun Bowl Art Exhibit is now open!

The IMoA is proud to be “The People’s Museum” and have the distinct opportunity to showcase local art, especially through our annual Sun Bowl Art Exhibit. The Sun Bowl Art Exhibit is a part of the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, celebrating the artistic excellence of our community. Beginning in 1949 as the Sun Carnival Art Exhibit, it is one of the longest running juried art shows in the American Southwest. This year’s Sun Bow Art Exhibit will be another stunning showcase of our region’s artistic vision, offering the best of our local artists.

The Sun Bowl is open to all artists 18 years or older who want to showcase their best. Artists are encouraged to enter up to three (3) works of art in any media that they believe captures their creativity, artistic merit and vision. The deadline to enter is Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Entries can be submitted in person, via mail or online.
