Artists are invited to submit up to three original works of art on any theme related to motorcycles. Works selected by jurors from submitted entries will be chosen on the basis of creative excellence and quality of execution.

All works must be original and completed within the last two years. Coos Art Museum’s “Thunder at CAM – Motorcycles and Art” jurors will be the final authority on eligibility. Accepted works meant for wall hanging must be ready with all necessary hardware in place.

The Exhibition: June 10, 2011 – July 23, 2011

Your art works will be displayed along with a large selection of classic motorcycles from all eras. This dual display will occupy both floors of the museum and promises to be a major motorcycle and art event.

Coos Art Museum is the cornerstone of visual arts on Oregon’s Southern Coast. Through collections, exhibitions and educational programs, we are building an arts and cultural community and promoting the appreciation, understanding and expression of visual art. It is the third oldest art museum in Oregon. CAM traces its roots to the Coos Artist League, active since 1950. Members of the League conducted early operations in storefront locations before moving to a Carnegie Public Library Building. In 1982 Coos Art Museum membership acquired and remodeled the retired US Post Office building, a historical art deco structure built in 1937. Currently, CAM has six active galleries totaling 5,600 square feet of display space and a 540 piece and growing Permanent Collection of mid-20th Century and contemporary American art.
