The sixth DUMA Biennial presents an invigorating survey of 70 works created by 57 regional contemporary artists, with exciting new works from artists both familiar and new to the museum.

To enter the competition artists must live within a 200 mile radius of Dubuque and only artwork created in the last two years qualified. For the 2017 DUMA Biennial, a record 208 artists from Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri submitted over 580 works of art.

Special thank you to juror, Amanda C, Burdan, Ph.D., Associate Curator of the Brandywine River Museum of Art.
