Call for Artists

International Festival of Burnsville (IFB) and Ames Center seek artworks to display at the 15th
annual IFB Cultural Perspectives art exhibition: ART PROMOTES UNDERSTANDING depicts
connections to each other, at home or across the globe, and timelessly reflected in cultural
values & traditions. 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 2, 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 do artworks invite reflection, reaction or response, and promote respect for others or our environment?
• How do pieces convey a cultural value, tradition, or common bond to others?
