The Radford University Art Museum on Tyler presents the 2026 Radford Art Show Reception on Saturday, July 25, 2026.

The Radford University Art Museum hosts an array of exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing professional and emerging artists, students, and works from the museum’s permanent collection. A highlight in our calendar is the annual Radford Art Show, attracting talented artists from across the region and shining a spotlight on the dynamic artistic community thriving in the New River Valley. The exhibition features 3D and 2D work in many mediums created by artists from around the region.

The Juror for this year’s exhibition is Marcy Criner, who is an award-winning equestrian portrait and abstract artist based in Virginia.

The show features cash prizes and awards including a $500 prize for Best in Show. We are pleased that the exhibition will coincide with the series of events connected by the Mary Draper Ingles Festival, creating a unique opportunity to celebrate local art amidst the festivities throughout Radford that bring together the rich tapestry of our local art scene, inviting visitors to explore and appreciate the abundance of talent waiting to be discovered.

The exhibition includes cash awards including a $500 Best in Show award.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

The exhibit will be on display from Friday, July 24th through Monday, August 10th. Gallery hours are Wednesday–Saturday from 12:00–4:00 PM.
