Call for Gallery Proposals (2027)

Silverwood Park is seeking proposals for consideration for the 2027 gallery season in the Silverwood Park Gallery and Annex Gallery in the Visitor's Center. Silverwood Park, a Three Rivers Park District facility located in St Anthony, MN, is devoted to the integration of artistic creation and nature-based experiences. It is a unique 120-acre park in the Twin Cities area, featuring Silver Lake, restored prairie, and mature oak forests. The main visitor's center includes a gallery, café/coffee shop, sales gallery, and large event hall.

The Silverwood Park Gallery is 1,300 square feet with polished concrete floors, salvaged oak, high-beamed ceiling, natural light, and intimate fireplace. The main gallery uses 8 movable displays that create 32 surfaces approximately 4 by 6 feet in natural wood finish and provides 15 pedestals with a 15 by 15 inch display surface. The annex gallery offers approximately 80 feet of wall space. Artists 18 years of age or older who primarily live or work in the Midwest are invited to submit proposals individually or collaboratively. Ideal proposals will support the mission of Silverwood Park and use art as a vehicle for inspiration, exploration, and connection to the natural world.

Duration of installation is approximately 7-8 weeks and in some cases, 1 month. Artists are responsible for all associated expenses related to design, fabrication, insurance, transportation, installation, and de-installation, but receive a small stipend. Art can be for sale with Silverwood Park retaining 30% of the sale price. Artists will be notified by email of application status by April 1, 2026.
