About
The Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition, described by the organiser as the second-longest-running juried print and drawing competition in the United States, is held every two years by Bradley University Galleries in Peoria, Illinois, in partnership with the Peoria Art Guild. The 40th edition is juried by printmaker Sarah Smelser (Illinois State University, co-founder of Manneken Press) and runs 5 February to 19 March 2027 at the Heuser Art Gallery, Hartmann Center Gallery, Peoria Art Guild and Peoria Riverfront Museum.
The exhibition is open to artists worldwide working in traditional and non-traditional graphic media, including all forms of printmaking, drawing and book arts. Submission is online, with payment via the university's Cheddar Up page; cash awards are selected by the juror and purchase awards made by the university.
The entry deadline for the 40th edition was not shown on the exhibition page at the time of research (the previous edition closed in early November); check the organiser's call-for-artists page for current terms.
