2027 Open Call for Art

The Dairy Arts Center invites artists, curators, and collectives to apply for the 2027 Call for Art Exhibitions. We are seeking bold, thoughtful exhibition proposals across all visual art mediums. Selected artists will work closely with Curator of Visual Arts Stella Witcher to develop exhibitions presented in 2027. Our Visual Arts Program centers innovative, socially engaged, and conceptually driven work that sparks dialogue and reflects the complexity of our contemporary moment. We welcome proposals for solo or group exhibitions that challenge assumptions, expand perspectives, and invite audiences into meaningful exchange. All applications must be made through the CaFE platform, including a brief bio, artist statement, and work samples. Artists over 18 years of age are eligible to apply, and works must be original. The deadline for application is April 30th, 2026, with notifications on May 26, 2026.
