Artist submissions are open for the 10th annual Images of the Shrub Steppe exhibit, a collaboration between the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy and Boxx Gallery that features visual art inspired by the Yakima Valley's shrub steppe ecosystem. The exhibit will run September 5 to 27, 2026 at Boxx Gallery, 616 Maple Street, in Tieton, Washington.
Artists working in any medium are invited to submit pieces created within the past five years that draw inspiration from the Yakima Valley's shrub steppe landscape. Three 100-dollar awards will be presented, including a Juror's Award, a People's Choice Award and a Cowiche Canyon Conservancy Award. The juror is Nancy Floyd, a photographer and mixed-media artist who received a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship.
Shrub steppe is a biologically diverse ecosystem native to much of the Intermountain West that has seen substantial losses in the Columbia Basin and Central Washington, with only about 20 to 30 percent of its historic range remaining. Boxx Gallery is a nonprofit dedicated to visual arts exhibitions and arts education. There is a 35-dollar non-refundable entry fee, and the deadline to submit is July 31, 2026.
