Call to Artists: 25th Annual Gala & Fine Arts Exhibition
The Arts Center invites artists of all styles and backgrounds to be part of our 25th Silver Jubilee Gala & Fine Arts Exhibition—an unforgettable evening where creativity takes center stage. This annual celebration is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we want to showcase the full spectrum of artistic voices in our community—from seasoned professionals to bold emerging creators. Whether your work is refined and traditional or wild and experimental, this is your chance to share it with an engaged audience of patrons, sponsors, and art lovers. The Arts Center is committed to presenting and promoting excellence in the arts. By exhibiting at the Silver Jubilee Gala, you become part of a vibrant celebration that uplifts creativity in all its forms.
What to Expect: Your artwork featured in a juried exhibition during our 25th anniversary gala. A festive evening with live music, gourmet food, a silent auction, and raffles. Opportunities for sales and direct connections with collectors and community supporters. Discounted artist tickets so you can join the celebration.
Silver Jubilee Theme: To honor our 25th anniversary, we invite artists to play with the idea of “silver” in your work or presentation—whether literally (metallics, shine, texture) or metaphorically (reflection, celebration, transformation). Interpret it as boldly or subtly as you wish. However, there is no theme requirement to enter-just a creative idea.
