Hello,

Oil Painters of America (OPA) invites your members to submit their work for the 2026 National Salon, a juried exhibition of small-format representational oil paintings.

This year’s exhibition will be hosted by Cassens Fine Art in Hamilton, Montana, and will be on view from July 31 through August 29, 2026. Approximately 180 exceptional works by Associate and Signature artists will be selected, showcasing excellence in draftsmanship, color, and composition while celebrating diversity in style and subject matter.

Over $20,000 in cash and merchandise awards will be presented.

Artists and guests are also invited to attend opening weekend events. The Opening Reception will take place on July 31 from 5:00–7:00 pm MDT, and Awards Judge James Crandall, OPAM, will present a live painting demonstration during the opening weekend.

We would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this opportunity with your members. Submissions are accepted online through June 12, 2026. Please note that OPA membership is required to enter, and applications are currently being accepted.
