Artist Opportunities
Exhibit at Art’s House Gallery
Art’s House Gallery presents a variety of group, thematic, and individual shows throughout the year. Watch for our Call for Artist announcements on this site and on our social media. Or if you are interested in exhibiting at Art’s House Gallery, complete the Featured Artists application.
Art’s House Gallery is a community space for community artists managed by the River Falls Community Art Base (CAB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating arts-related events and projects in and around the community of River Falls, Wisconsin. We are always looking for new projects to take on and encourage anyone interested in supporting the arts in our community to become involved by exhibiting work in our gallery, volunteering to staff our gallery during open hours, making a donation, or becoming a member.
CAB Annual Member Show
Art’s House Gallery is thrilled to host our second CAB Annual Member Show Thursday, May 22 to Saturday, July 12, 2025. This show is open to all active CAB members and will be a visible feast of eclectic art of all media types from painting and pottery to glass, photography, and art to wear. If you are a CAB Member and are interested in showing your art, sign up here. The sign-up deadline is Saturday, May 10 at 11:45 pm.
CAB’s mission to foster the arts in and around our beautiful River Falls community - from Art on the Kinni to Music in the Park - relies on the varied financial and volunteer support of our members (you can become a member here). CAB members not only support local arts, many of them are artists themselves. The CAB Annual Member Show is a great opportunity to showcase a variety of artistic styles and media at all levels of artistic expression. Come show your support for our CAB artists!
At the Phipps: Human x Machine: Exploring Art in the Age of AI
This fall, the Phipps is presenting an exciting special exhibition, Human x Machine: Exploring Art in the Age of AI, which will dig into the issues around artificial intelligence (AI) in the creative process. This exhibition will explore the evolving relationship between visual art and artificial intelligence, showing a wide range of perspectives—from those embracing AI as a creative tool to those actively rejecting its use. We are excited to invite you to submit your work. Even if you don’t consider yourself an “AI artist,” you may already use AI-like tools in your practice—photoshop features, auto-selection tools, digital upscaling, or smart projectors. Others may work in direct opposition to AI, reinforcing traditional, hands-on techniques. This exhibition aims to foster a thoughtful dialogue about how technology intersects with artistic expression, and there will be a panel discussion and demonstrations in conjunction with the exhibit.
We invite submissions that:
Incorporate AI as part of the creative process (AI-assisted design, generative AI)
Use AI-adjacent tools while maintaining a hands-on approach
Intentionally reject AI, emphasizing human craftsmanship
Visit https://forms.office.com/r/MYiraSEGr4 for more info. Please note that artists can submit work for both this call and the Phipps Annual Call for art. Submission deadline is April 1, 2025.
Questions about how we can include your work? Contact Lee Ann Pomplas.
Art’s House Gallery Gift Boutique
Art’s House Gallery is looking for original handmade works priced up to $75 to be part of our gallery’s gift shop area. Clothing, home goods, and accessories as well as smaller-scale two-dimensional and sculptural works all do well. Artists and craftspeople of all media interested in sharing their work for two to four six-month periods can apply here.
Swinging Bridge Brewery Featured Artists
The Swinging Bridge Brewery is starting a partnership with CAB to be a location for monthly artist spotlights. This spotlight will feature one artist exclusively for three to four weeks beginning on the first Sunday of the month. The brewery will hold a Meet and Greet from 3-6pm, on the first Sunday, for the artist to invite their guests and be available to talk about their work.
The brewery will provide wall space for 6-10 pieces, depending on size. Ladders and basic hanging supplies will be provided. The artist is responsible for hanging all work; timeline for hanging work will be arranged with the brewer. The brewery will not take a commission; therefore, the artist is responsible for all sales of their work. The brewery holds no liability for any damages, or theft of artwork.
For consideration, please send four images of current artwork to matt@swingingbrigdebrewing.com and cory@swinginbridgebrewing.com. Artists will be considered on an ongoing basis. You will be notified of acceptance at least one month before the exhibition. Please indicate if there are preferred months or a month that does not work for you in your application. The first date is May 4th, 2025.
Installation: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 9am-2pm
Take down: Monday, Tuesday 9am-2pm
Artwork must be wired or able to hang on a ½ inch wide hanger.
Artists are highly encouraged to attend the “Meet and Greet” and invite their friends/collectors.
If hanging your work or the times stated to hang your work are a problem, The Swinging Bridge Brewing Company can make adjustments.
Ellsworth Public Library Seeking Artists and Instructors
The Ellsworth Public Library is often looking for artists, presenters and/or leaders to teach, present and/or lead classes or talks around a variety of subjects. The library has a once-a-month Tuesday program in partnership with our Senior Center that a one-off art class would be perfect for, a once-a-month Doodle Club for ages 9-12, and a once-a-month Teen Meetup that would be a great place for some art education. The library is also set to move into a larger space later this fall that will have a Maker Space and other areas of creativity that will be perfect for guest artists. There will also be a number of dedicated art walls, which can host monthly local art exhibitions.
