Delta 2024

Founded by AMFA (Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts) in 1958 as a juried exhibition, the Delta Triennial is named after the fertile floodplains surrounding the Mississippi River and seeks to amplify artistic voices in the Mid-South as they reflect complex histories and shifts in the cultural landscape. Since establishing the Delta exhibition, AMFA has consistently collected art produced by artists from the Mid-South and displayed it in context with our nationally and internationally recognized collection. In so doing, AMFA elevates awareness of the artistic diversity of the region and illustrates that American art is not monolithic but comprised of many voices.

This year, AMFA received over 1,200 applications – a record-breaking number for AMFA’s Delta exhibition. The sheer volume of applicants allowed jurors to select a truly exceptional showcase of art from the Mid-South. The 2024 Delta Triennial will be a display of unparalleled creativity and talent, making it a must-see exhibition for art enthusiasts and museumgoers alike.

The Guest Jurors choose one Grand Award in the amount of $5,000. During Member Preview Night on June 27, 2024, AMFA announced the jurors selected Ferrous Form by Molly Kaderka as the Grand Award Winner. During the run of the exhibition, the public will choose one People’s Choice Award in the amount of $1,500. Voting takes place in the galleries through August 4, 2024.
