Artist Opportunities
Orange City Arts offers diverse opportunities for artists to connect with the community to share their knowledge and showcase their work. Our annual juried Regional Art Show highlights an impressive array of 2D and 3D creations from talented artists across Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Additionally, we feature select artists and host art galleries year-round, offering both exhibitions and opportunities to share their creative insights.
Artists can also engage and share their passion with the community by leading workshops. If you would like to lead a class or workshop, please fill out the Instructor Proposal Form online.

Annual Art Shows
Orange City Arts hosts a Summer Regional Art Show, as well as several smaller art galleries. Regional artists are welcome to submit their pieces for consideration and submission, provided they adhere to the rules of the show. Our next art show will begin this summer! We will release an art call in March, so please stay tuned!
For our other art showcases, artists are welcome to contact us to ask about having their art displayed. We run smaller art galleries throughout the year, and are happy to work with local artists when possible.
