The Arts Council has several opportunities throughout the year for artists to display their work in the Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery. This page is for all the open and upcoming call for artists. Artists can also find links to opportunities on this page. If you’ve never entered an exhibit before, that’s OK! ARTSWIN staff are here to help you through the process to help you get your work featured. Contact Gallery Director Andrea Adams to help get started.

Literally (2023)
Join us for our newest assignment-based exhibit, “Literally.” This literature-inspired exhibit is designed to pair artists with a famous literary work. Registered artists will choose from a list of works curated by the Arts Council and reinterpret it visually.
Registration is required for the exhibit. Once a work is selected by an artist, it will be removed from the list so there are no repeat entries. You checkout an advance look at the list here.

Work can be dropped off at 212 Main Street during the following times:

Teachers can submit up to ten 2D pieces and/or ten 3D pieces per school.
