2026 Exhibit Schedule-

🌟 JAN–FEB | Take Inspiration

Kicking off the year with a flexible, open-ended exhibition celebrating the sparks that move you.

Whether inspired by a song, a quote, a place, a memory, or a feeling, Take Inspiration invites artists to share work that began with a moment of influence.

This exhibit is open to all mediums and styles, and previously created work is welcome. There are no size or pricing restrictions—just bring the piece that speaks to you.

🌱 MAR–APR | Affordable Art: Call for Conservation

In celebration of Earth Day, this exhibit highlights landscapes, nature, and environmental themes while keeping art accessible to everyone with all pieces priced at $200 or less.

Artists are invited to submit work inspired by the natural world, conservation, or their personal connection to the environment. Photography, painting, illustration, and mixed media are especially encouraged.

Suggested Pricing by Size:  Small (up to 11×14) — up to $50 | Medium (up to 16×20) — up to $100 | Large (up to 24×30) — up to $150 | Oversized (30+) — up to $200 | NFS Welcome

🖼️ MAY–JUN | 12 × 12 Showcase

This community showcase invites artists of all experience levels to submit work created on a 12 × 12 inch canvas.

Any medium is welcome, and artists are encouraged to interpret the format creatively. The uniform size creates a cohesive, gallery-wide installation while giving each piece equal presence.

This exhibit is ideal for new, student, and established artists alike. Approachable pricing is encouraged.

💥 JUL–AUG | Loud & Proud

Loud & Proud invites artists to submit work that embraces strong color, high contrast, confident marks, and expressive energy. Whether abstract, figurative, digital, or experimental, this show celebrates art that refuses to be quiet.

If your work leans vibrant, playful, or unapologetically expressive, this is the exhibit for you.

📐 SEP–OCT | One Rule

In One Rule, artists choose a single rule to guide their creative process—and then explore what’s possible within it.

The rule can be anything: a color limitation, a repeated shape, a time constraint, or a conceptual boundary. Artists must display their rule alongside their work, inviting viewers into the creative process.

This exhibit encourages experimentation, play, and curiosity across all mediums.

🎀 NOV–DEC | Gifts from the Heart

Gifts from the Heart is a holiday-season exhibition focused on meaningful, handmade, and giftable art.

Artists are encouraged to submit smaller works such as prints, ceramics, textiles, ornaments, zines, and other one-of-a-kind pieces. Cultural traditions, personal stories, and expressions of warmth and care are welcome.

This exhibit supports local artists while making art accessible as thoughtful gifts.
