Rumriver Art Center is calling for artists to share their work, in bite-sized pieces, for our October exhibition: Look Closely: Art Made on a Small-Scale. There is no theme to this show. There is only one requirement: it must be small (no bigger than 10” x 10” x 10” to be precise).

Rumriver Art Center is inviting regional artists to apply for solo, duo, or group shows in either of our two galleries. We are a community art center, and our core philosophy is ‘process over product,’ and exhibiting a wide variety of artistic practices and disciplines, no matter the technical skill level or how long they have been creating art. Exhibition proposals may be submitted online until 11:59 pm on August 22nd, 2025. It is FREE to apply.

The applications for Rumriver Art Center’s annual Holiday Show and Shop are open! Every year, we transform our galleries and common area into a five-week-long art market that features dozens of local artists. We encourage all artists, crafters, and makers who create items that will make great holiday gifts to apply.
