Call for Artists

2026 prompt coming soon

IFB’s exhibit features two-dimensional art of any medium; freestanding or pedestal-mounted three-dimensional work, including sculptures, textiles, framed or on-canvas photographs (preferably no less than 16×20”). IFB’s review panel encourages multiple submissions.

Submission Deadline: June 7, 2026

Participating artists submit a digital photo of completed work (or work in progress) and briefly respond to the following questions to margosvolunteers@gmail.com.

• Choose a title for EACH piece; identify the medium, dimensions, and, if for sale, include the dollar value. Ames Center retains 25% of the proceeds. Collections require only one set of responses.
• How does your work express wonder in our lives or our surroundings? Or perhaps your piece depicts your reaction to a surprising setting or situation—whether real or imaginative.
• How do pieces convey a cultural value, tradition, or connection to others?
