Pine Bluff, Arkansas – The ARTx3 Campus is preparing to celebrate artistic excellence with the opening of the 2025 Irene Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition. A public reception and awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, September 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, located at 701 S. Main Street in Pine Bluff.

Celebrating Regional Talent and Artistic Achievement
“The 2025 Irene Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition” showcases a curated selection of works by both emerging and established artists from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. The exhibition provides a platform for artists to gain visibility, win monetary awards, and potentially have their work added to the Arts & Science Center’s Permanent Collection.
Funded by an endowment from the late Irene Rosenzweig, a respected Pine Bluff resident, this biennial competition continues to be one of the most distinguished juried art shows in the region. It serves as a meaningful opportunity for creative voices throughout the South to be recognized.
Artists chosen to participate in the 2025 exhibition will be announced in mid-August. Multiple prizes will be awarded, including Best in Show, First Place, Second Place, and three merit awards. In addition, purchase awards totaling $2,000 will be offered.
The exhibition will be housed in the International Paper Gallery and remain on display from September 18, 2025, through January 24, 2026. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
“The Irene Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition” is made possible in part by support from The Arts & Science Center Endowment Fund and the Irene Rosenzweig Endowment Fund.
