Get matched →The Louisa Arts Center presents an open juried show for local artists. All artwork must be original, framed or mounted professionally, and priced for sale. The Center retains a 30% commission on sold work, plus 15% of any sale made through an Arts Center referral from opening night to 30 days later.
Open to all local artists. All artwork must be original in any media (no printed reproductions). Any copied photos must have been taken by the artist or credit given. Artwork must not have appeared in a previous Louisa Arts Center show. AI-generated work (DALL-E, Midjourney, etc.) is not accepted. AI-assisted or AI-derived work is acceptable if the greater part is the artist's tangible, intellectual, and creative labor; such work must be acknowledged to the gallery. All 2-D work must be professionally framed and wired for hanging (no sawtooth hangers). 3-D work will be displayed on gallery-provided pedestals.
Register and upload photos at https://uniquelylouisapenshow.artcall.org. Submit JPEG or PNG files (5 MB max per file). Print two identification tags: one for the back/bottom of the artwork, one as your receipt. Judging is not virtual; all artwork must be physically submitted on January 9, 2027, 9:00–11:00 a.m. In-person submissions only; shipped artwork cannot be accepted or returned.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Attach a printed tag to the back of each artwork with: artist name, artwork title, price, and dimensions. Check spelling and capitalization—no corrections can be made after the Wednesday before opening. All 2-D work must be wired for hanging with hardware on both sides of the back.
The Louisa Arts Center takes precautions to protect work but does not insure artwork. By submitting, artists agree to allow work to be shown and reproduced for publicity. Artists agree to hold the Louisa Arts Center harmless from all claims resulting from losses or damage.
