Art on Paper is a biennial exhibition that presents a broad range of contemporary art in which the use of paper, either as a surface or material, is a primary consideration. Art on Paper 2014 will include unique works by emerging and established artists selected through submissions and by invitation from the United States and abroad. 

Art on Paper 2014 represents a forty-nine year partnership between the Weatherspoon and xpedx (formerly the Dillard Paper Company), whose long-standing sponsorship of Art on Paper has allowed the Weatherspoon to acquire a number of works from each year’s exhibition. Since 1965, The Dillard Fund has fostered the growth of the Weatherspoon’s nationally recognized Dillard Collection of Art on Paper, which today numbers nearly 600 works. Acquisitions have included work by a number of seminal artists, such as Eva Hesse, Frank Stella, Robert Smithson, and Louise Bourgeois. 

Art on Paper 2014 will open with a party hosted by the Weatherspoon Art Museum Association. Please check the website for ticket information. Support for the exhibition and catalogue is generously provided by xpedx, The Dillard Fund, and the F.M. Kirby Foundation, Inc.
