ARTOUT 2026 Opening Reception

Nine years in, ArtOUT keeps getting better. Join us for the ArtOUT 2026 Opening Reception, an evening celebrating the artists, the work, and the community that makes it all happen.

Hosted at The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, this special night marks the opening of this year's juried exhibition and the announcement of our 2026 award winners, including Best in Show.

Meet the artists, connect with fellow art lovers, enjoy drinks and light bites, and spend the evening surrounded by work that sparks conversation, connection, and pride.

Artists attend free thanks to the generous support of The James Museum, Delicious Wine Bar, 3 Daughters Brewing, and Fresco's Waterfront Bistro.

This year's artist awards are made possible by Viviva Colors, Sculpey, Natural Earth Paint, Artify, Blackwing, BLICK Art Materials, and Cookin Genie.

ArtOUT 2026 is a juried visual art exhibition celebrating LGBTQ+ artists and allies, presented by OUT Arts & Culture.
