WINNERS

Biennial is the Museum’s juried exhibition occurring every two years that highlights the very best in regional artistic talent typically displaying work by more than 50 artists. SAMA’s Biennial is considered to be one of Pennsylvania’s top exhibitions for contemporary local artists, and this installment features works in photography, watercolor, wood, oil, clay, bronze, pastel, pencil, acrylic, and mixed media, among others. SAMA believes that art has the power to enrich our lives, spark conversations, and foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Through the Biennial exhibition, we hope to create meaningful connections between artists and the community while celebrating the creative spirit that thrives in our region.
