The Members Show is an annual juried exhibition open to Pensacola Museum of Art members. Our founders introduced The Members Show during the art center’s first year as a way to honor and celebrate the relationship between local artists and the institution. Over 70 years later, artists remain a vital part of our museum community.
The exhibition is a benefit for existing members and helps to build our community of local artists. The call is open to artists of all skill levels, from beginning and emerging artists to those with established careers. The 2024 exhibition showcased over eighty local, regional, and national artists, working in a diverse range of media. Prizes are awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and a special People’s Choice winner is determined by visitors during the opening reception. Recent past winners include Poppy Garcia, Carrie Ann Baade, Nonney Oddlokken, and Kelly Anne Mueller.
