# Peninsula Art League 24th National Fine Art Show 2026

**Hosted by:** Peninsula Art League

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** Gig Harbor Vintage Aero Museum, Gig Harbor, WA, United States | **Deadline:** October 18, 2026 | **Entry fee:** $45

## About This Program

Peninsula Art League (PAL) is proud to present the 24th National Fine Art Show (NFAS), our annual juried art exhibition celebrating excellence in two- and three-dimensional art and photo/digital art. With more than 23 years of community presence, strategic partnerships, and public programming this prestigious show has a long-standing tradition of attracting outstanding submissions from talented artists across the country. PAL invites national, regional, and local artists to submit their work to be juried for exhibition by notable museum curators Jessica Wilks, Tacoma Art Museum and Greg Robinson, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

They will be awarding cash prizes totaling more than $8,500. Following the success of last year, the show will, once again, be held at the award-winning Gig Harbor Vintage Aero Museum from November 14th, 2026, through December 2nd, 2026. The Museum is a unique and well-designed venue, founded by Bill Juranich and Bob & Marilyn Juranich, and serves as a vibrant gathering space showcasing amazing vintage aircraft, and now, with their partnership with the Peninsula Art League, a welcoming venue for artists and art lovers alike.

## Eligibility & Requirements

- **Geographic Eligibility:** National
- **Disciplines:** painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, printmaking
- **Age Requirements:** 18+ years old
- **Note:** Submission Limit: 1

Eligibility Criteria

Artists must be 18 years or over.
All entries must be original works of art, entirely the work of the entrant, created within the last two years. Entries include 2-D, 3-D, and photography.
All entries must be for sale. A 15% commission will be charged on all sales.
Works produced in classes, workshops or under supervision are not eligible.
Hand-pulled prints from intaglio, woodblock or serigraph are acceptable.
Art with depictions of nudes, religious symbols, political themes or extreme violence will not be considered.
The creative vision, skill and execution of the artwork must originate with the artist. AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools may be used in a supporting capacity – *for photo editing, refinement, or minor enhancements* – but may not generate the artwork itself.

### Additional Requirements

Submit 1–3 images of your work online at CaFÉ no later than October 18, 2026. All 2D art must be sturdily framed and ready to hang including D-rings (no saw-tooth hangers) and hanging wire. Including the frame, artwork must be a minimum of 12" on one side, height or width, and should not exceed 2,300 total square inches. The hanging wire should be positioned approximately 1/3 of the way down from the top and be taut so the 2-D works remain flush with the wall.

Larger and heavier pieces should use appropriately sized "D" rings with sturdy wire. No wire should extend above the top of the piece. Gallery wrapped canvas does not require framing but must be wired to hang. 3D art can be displayed on the floor for full size work; pedestals for smaller work can hold a maximum of 20" wide x 25" tall work.
