Posted by: Pelham Art Center
Deadline: Sun, December 13th, 2026

Pelham Art Center is pleased to announce an open call for entries to the 14th biennial Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition for Painting. This juried competition is open to U.S.-based artists aged 19 and older. The winner is awarded a $7,500 cash prize, a solo exhibition and printed catalog at Pelham Art Center. An additional $2,500 is divided and given out to the finalists of the competition. 

The award and exhibition honor the memory and artistic achievement of artist Alexander Rutsch (1916 – 1997), particularly Rutsch’s belief that art transcends all of our humanity. Rutsch actively supported Pelham Art Center for more than 25 years. After his death, friends, family and supporters established a generous fund to support a biennial, open, juried competition in painting. 

Those interested in submitting work for the 14th Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition can find the prospectus and entry form at:
