EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The City of El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA) is seeking entries for the 2024 Border Biennial exhibition.
The exhibit seeks to “recognize, stimulate, and disseminate artistic creation on the US-Mexico border,” according to a news release sent out by the City of El Paso.
The exhibition “aims to feature the unique distinctiveness of the Borderland,
which includes a diversity of experiences,” the release added.
It will also explore how the definition of “the border” has helped to shape an artist.
