Fort Madison Area Art Association has an open art call for artist exhibits for the months of 2023. If you have a cohesive display of 25+ artworks (2D or 3D) and are looking for a place to show your art in Iowa, check into this art call. Please note: The FMAAA director chooses which artists to showcase, not Iowa Artists. Below are some details but please contact Lori Illner-Greene, the Director, at fortmadisonart@gmail.com if you are interested or need more information.
Each exhibition at Fort Madison Area Arts Association (FMAAA) runs for an approximate calendar month. Opening Reception is usually the first Friday of the month, plus we try to schedule in a Gallery talk luncheon at the end of the exhibition during warmer months. FMAAA retains a 25% commission on sales for our member artists/35% for non-members (membership is $35). Plus, we have a second Gallery in our facility that displays member art and wares for sale.

Des Moines Art Center Free Little Art Gallery
The Des Moines Art Center has unveiled the city’s first Free Little Art Gallery, a miniature outdoor gallery where local artists can share small works of art with the community.
The Free Little Art Gallery is located on the east side of the Des Moines Art Center near the pathway leading to Greenwood Park. Artists of all abilities are encouraged to contribute to the Free Little Art Gallery. The only requirement is that each piece of art be no more than 5 inches tall to fit in the gallery space. People can leave something, take something, or both, as often as they wish.
The Free Little Art Gallery is similar to the neighborhood library “take a book, return a book” concept. Miniature outdoor art galleries have been popping up throughout the United States. Mia Buch, museum educator at the Des Moines Art Center, was instrumental in bringing the Free Little Art Gallery concept to Des Moines.
“Art is for everyone. That’s a big reason why I work at the Des Moines Art Center, because along with free admission, the Art Center works every day to make art as accessible as possible,” Buch said. “This [Free Little Art Gallery] is a playful extension of that mission and I hope it inspires members of our community to create, view, and value artwork in new ways, and more often.”
West Des Moines – City Murals
The West Des Moines Public Arts Advisory Commission and Parks and Recreation Department invite Iowa artists to submit a Mural Proposal to participate in the WDMurals public art exhibit.

Please complete one application per piece of artwork submitted. There is no limit to the amount of applications submitted.
Applications must be submitted by 5pm CST on February 25, 2022.
Contact Allison Ullestad at 515-222-3455 or allison.ullestad@wdm.iowa.gov with any questions or concerns.
Des Moines Parks & Rec Trail Art
Des Moines artists have a chance for their artwork to be viewed millions of times each year, but it won’t be at a conventional gallery.
Des Moines Parks and Recreation is kicking off the Bike Trail Art Corridor program, a new project to showcase local artwork along the city’s bike trail system. The department is seeking digital art submissions from Des Moines artists to be printed on a series of panels along the trails.
Submissions can be digital images of paintings, drawings, sculptures, multimedia, graphic design, poetry and photographs.
Judges will review and select the artwork to be used along the bike trail system. A total of 8-10 pieces of artwork will be displayed within the art corridors along the trails. Each corridor will feature two separate pieces of artwork, one on each side of the trail.
Artists must be 18 years or older and live in Des Moines or operate a business within city limits to participate. The submission deadline is 4:59 p.m. on Feb. 18. Artists who have their work selected will receive a $300 prize.
To participate, artists must review and follow the timeline and official rules and fill out all required forms listed below. The completed submission form and digital image(s) are to be emailed together to DSMparkplanning@dmgov.org
Artwork Contest_Timeline and Official Rules.pdf, Artwork Contest_Submission Form.pdf, and Artwork Contest_Photo Release Form.pdf please go to https://www.dsm.city/business_detail_T6_R286.php
The artwork will be installed along the trails in June 2022.
Des Moines Parks and Recreation estimates 4.6 million uses of Des Moines’ trail network each year.

Old Town Square is nestled snuggly amongst historic buildings in the heart Fort Collins, Colorado and is home to weekly concerts in the summer and year-round festivals, shopping, and dining. It is our goal to expose the citizens of Fort Collins to quality art and artists, compensate our artists well, and help promote their talents.
Six sculptures will be chosen for our year long, outdoor exhibit that will be installed on Saturday, April 23, 2022 and remain for one year. Each artist will receive a $1,000 honorarium and one artist will be awarded a $1,000 People's Choice Award. All artists and a guest are invited to join us for lunch on installation day.
If artwork is sold, while on loan, we will retain a 10% commission. We are accepting highly durable and resilient sculptures of any media, that are at least 4 feet tall, from artists nationwide. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces.

* Each artist may submit up to 3 different sculptures.
Proposal: Briefly state the overall theme, idea, or inspiration behind your work. Indicate how many pieces you would realistically have ready if you were selected to show 7+ months from now. (Both galleries are large and artists with smaller works or smaller bodies of work will be paired with complementary artists to make full use of the space.) Give the range of sizes of your pieces. For example: I propose to display 25 oil paintings that range from 11 x 14 to 36 x 48”. I spend my summers traveling in Mexico and I capture the essence of the people and places I visit.
Submit 6 images to represent the body of work proposed.
2 person or group proposals: If you wish to exhibit with another specific artist or a group containing up to 6 artists, then each artist must fill out an application and state who they wish to show with. It will be helpful if all members in the group submit applications on the same day.
Exhibition pieces must have been completed in the last 3 years and not previously shown at Quad City Arts.
The purpose of the exhibition is to not only show your work, but to further your career through sales of your work. If selected, most of the work exhibited should be for sale. 2D work must be framed for exhibition, unless gallery wrapped canvas is used; some exceptions allowed.
This is a regional competition open to all artists over 18, residing within 250 miles of Rock Island, Illinois (most of IL, IA, parts of WI and MO.)

Quad City Arts
Quad City Arts invites artists residing within a 250-mile radius of Rock Island, IL (most of Iowa, Illinois, parts of WI and MO.) to submit a proposal for a gallery exhibition during 2022-23. Selected artists will be paired with one or two additional artists for a 2-month long exhibition between August 2022 and August 2023 in one of our two large exhibit spaces. Cohesive bodies of work are highly desired. All media will be considered. All exhibited work will also be featured in our online sales gallery: https://www.quadcityarts.com/galleries.html
Quad City Arts’ Rock Island Gallery occupies a 1908 department store space near the banks of the Mississippi River. Features include original wood floors, a 14' high, tin ceiling, and a wall of windows that face the Mississippi River. The exhibition gallery has 1500 sq. feet of space and 106 running feet of wall space. This gallery is ideal for large work, both 2D and 3D, cutting edge or experimental work, very small work that requires close-up viewing, installation work, performance art, nudes, and everything in between. A free public reception for the artists is held.
Art at the Airport Gallery is in front of the arrival/departure seating area in the Quad Cities International Airport, Moline, IL. It houses 1,600 square feet of exhibition space behind floor to ceiling glass panels with a depth of 4 feet. Numerous electrical outlets and controlled lighting make this an ideal space for works incorporating neon or video. It can accommodate works up to 7’ tall and sculptures 4’ wide. Over 2 million visitors pass through this space annually. Due to the highly public nature of the space, no nudity nor highly controversial works will be displayed. Currently, no public receptions for the artists are held.
Entry fee: $10 Deadline: Jan. 9, 2022. Notification: Feb. 11, 2022

This gallery is ideal for large work, both 2D and 3D, cutting edge or experimental work, very small work that requires close-up viewing, installation work, performance art, nudes, and everything in between. A free public reception for the artists is held.
Art at the Airport Gallery is in front of the arrival/departure seating area in the Quad Cities International Airport, Moline, IL. It houses 1,600 square feet of exhibition space behind floor to ceiling glass panels with a depth of 4 feet. Numerous electrical outlets and controlled lighting make this an ideal space for works incorporating neon or video. It can accommodate works up to 7’ tall and sculptures 4’ wide. Over 2 million visitors pass through this space annually. Due to the highly public nature of the space, no nudity nor highly controversial works will be displayed. Currently, no public receptions for the artists are held.
Entry fee: $10 Deadline: Jan. 9, 2022. Notification: Feb. 11, 2022
Proposal: Briefly state the overall theme, idea, or inspiration behind your work. Indicate how many pieces you would realistically have ready if you were selected to show 7+ months from now. (Both galleries are large and artists with smaller works or smaller bodies of work will be paired with complementary artists to make full use of the space.) Give the range of sizes of your pieces. For example: I propose to display 25 oil paintings that range from 11 x 14 to 36 x 48”. I spend my summers traveling in Mexico and I capture the essence of the people and places I visit.
Submit 6 images to represent the body of work proposed.
2 person or group proposals: If you wish to exhibit with another specific artist or a group containing up to 6 artists, then each artist must fill out an application and state who they wish to show with. It will be helpful if all members in the group submit applications on the same day.
Exhibition pieces must have been completed in the last 3 years and not previously shown at Quad City Arts.
The purpose of the exhibition is to not only show your work, but to further your career through sales of your work. If selected, most of the work exhibited should be for sale. 2D work must be framed for exhibition, unless gallery wrapped canvas is used; some exceptions allowed.
This is a regional competition open to all artists over 18, residing within 250 miles of Rock Island, Illinois (most of IL, IA, parts of WI and MO.)
Only original works of art not previously shown at in a Quad City Arts Gallery and created within the last three years can be exhibited.
