Call to Artists

The Visual Arts Center offers opportunities for artists of all media to enter shows in the Main Gallery. All exhibits are judged, some are juried and each exhibit presents an opportunity to win cash prizes and ribbons at the awards reception. 

The Annual Call to Artists provides all the exhibit and display requirements and an annual exhibit calendar with all the important dates you'll need to know in a printable brochure.

    Please make sure you are familiar with the Exhibit Hanging and Display Requirements before entering an exhibit.
