INT’L Paperworks 2025

The Northwest Arts Center opens the spring semester at Minot State with the “INT’L Paperworks 2025” annual juried exhibition. The exhibition is on view from January 9 to February 20 in the Walter Piehl Gallery.

From the first call for entries in 1969, the Paperworks competition has brought diverse artwork “on or of paper, traditional and experimental,” to the University campus and greater Minot community. This year’s exhibition features 40 artworks by 32 artists from around the US.

Juror for INT’L Paperworks 2025 is Michael Reedy, Ann Arbor, MI. Reedy received his MFA in Drawing from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, and is a professor at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Art and Design. His work has been included in over 250 national and international exhibitions, has been featured in over 40 books and journals including Hi-Fructose, Juxtapoze, Spectrum, and Fresh Paint. His work was also recently featured in Create Magazine, Creative Quarterly, The Moleskine Project Vol. 2 (Spoke Art), and Manifest Gallery’s 15th International Drawing Annual.

A public reception and online viewing is scheduled for Thursday, January 23, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Both exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Please see the reception event or NAC website for more details.
