2026 Exhibit Themes

Honoring Women: An International Women’s Month Exhibit
March is International Women’s Month. So for the first exhibit of 2026, we would like you to create art that honors and celebrates women. They could be famous, historical figures, pioneering women, local heroes, or unnamed women know only to you. This is an opportunity to recognize their lives, achievements, resilience, personal pain, acts of courage and determination, experiences, culture or complex identities. We hope this exhibit will show our gratitude to women for their impact on world, or even on our own personal lives.

Spring into Art: Our 27th Annual Youth Exhibit
Attention young artists! Here’s your chance to share your artwork with the community.
Anyone under the age of 21 is invited to submit artwork in any medium.

Fired & Fiber: Ceramics and Fiber Arts
For this show we fill the gallery with our local artist’s fabulous creations in all types of ceramic and textiles. Ceramic pieces can be hand built or thrown, sculptural, decorative or functional, in any type of clay, fired in any type of kiln – be it electric, gas, soda, raku, etc. Textile art can include fabrics, yarns, reeds, seaweed, twine or any material you can weave, felt, sew, macramé, knit, twist, etc.

Connections: How Living Things Relate
In this exhibit we would like artists to explore the many aspects of connections among living things. It can be with humans, animals, plants or even microorganisms! Whether they’re emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, bond forming or habit forming – the good, the bad, the beautiful, or the ugly – anything goes when showing us your ideas about Connections!

Rhythms Within: Abstract Expressions
Abstract art can range from slightly altered depictions of reality to entirely non-representational works. When we let go of what we see and tap into images we find within us, we can connect with our own perspective on reality. For this exhibit we are looking for strong work that focuses on emotion, ideas, or an internal reality, rather than a recognizable subject. Tap into your inner rhythms and show us how you express them!

Featured Artist: Tina Masciocchi 
This year we are thrilled to have a long-time member of the Art Center, Tina Masciocchi, as our Featured Artist.

The Gift of Art: Annual Holiday Gift Exhibit
Once again we will have our popular holiday gift exhibit. For this show we ask artists to submit work that is suitable for gift giving. Framed paintings, crafty wall hangings, functional ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, cards, glass, woodwork, etc! All mediums are welcome. But all submissions must be for sale. Open to artists 18 years and older.
