Request for Exhibition Proposals for 2022/2023

Call for Entries from Regional Artists. Application is open to professional, student, and amateur artists of all backgrounds over the age of 18 residing or working in Iowa or surrounding states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota). Each selected artist for exhibition will retain ownership of their work and agree to loan the work for exhibition during the time specified. Pieces can be sold at any time during the exhibition but must remain in place for the duration. A 25 percent commission of any piece sold is retained by the Clear Lake Arts Center to support next year's exhibition. There is no application fee.

Artists may submit up to two exhibition proposals. All work must be the original work of the artists in concept, composition, and execution. Entries are juried on artistic merit, creativity, innovation, technical skill, and imagination. All submissions must be of sound construction and able to remain in excellent condition during the exhibition. Entries are selected from images and the description provided. Artworks must not present a safety risk to the public or require unsupervised interaction, and must be maintenance-free for the duration of the exhibition.

Work sample requirements: Submit 7-10 images. Entry deadline: August 31, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Contact: [email protected]
