A National Call for Art

Open to all artists, aged 18 or older, residing in the US.

This is an in-person exhibition, selected works are expected to be shipped to, or dropped off at, Webster Arts by March 12, 2025.

Find the fantastical in Webster Arts’ latest show, Into the Woods. Art often serves as a means of revealing - and obscuring - our hidden realities; it is a means of peering into the mythical and magical places that might otherwise only exist in our imaginations. We invite you to weave your own tale of wonder and mystery.

Entry Deadline: February 13, 2025

Entry Fee: $25 for the first three images, $5 for each additional entry up to 10 images. Entry fees are non-refundable.

Exhibition Dates: March 18 - April 18, 2025
 

Please call or email Webster Arts if you have questions about the suitability of your medium.

Originally known for its annual art fair, Art & Air (now The Webster Arts Fair), which began in 2003, Webster Arts has grown into a vital community organization that invites people of all ages to explore and enjoy art. Our patrons are sophisticated art consumers. Over the past 20 years Webster Arts has expanded its programs to include exhibits, workshops, the annual Plein Air event Paint Webster, artists markets, concerts, and family-friendly community engagement programs. The Webster Arts gallery features artwork from around the country. Regular hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 – 5:00 PM.
