Conservatory Art Classic

The Bosque (formerly Conservatory) Art Classic, sponsored by the Art Council, was organized in 1986, and has become an international juried art show held each year in September. 2009 will mark the show’s 24th year.

Through a purchase award given by Roland and Joyce Jones, in memory of their son John Steven, one piece of artwork is added to the Bosque Art Center's permanent collection each year, located in the Jones Gallery on the second floor of the Art Center. The gallery houses an outstanding collection of original paintings and sculpture.

The 24th Annual Art Classic opens September 12, 2009 and runs for two weeks, closing September 27th. Over $14,500 in awards are offered in several categories.

Deadline to receive entries is June 13, 2009. Download the prospectus in PDF format for complete details. The prospectus includes instructions and a form for submitting slides or a CD.  If you are interested in submitting digital entries, please read the prospectus prior to proceeding to the online entry section of our web site.
