OCTOBER EXHIBIT at the Art Gallery at City Hall: Things that go BUMP in the Night

Calling all spooky artists! To celebrate Spooky Season, we are putting together a collection of works for our ghostly gallery and we invite your art to haunt our halls! This exhibit will focus on "things that go bump in the night" - evening scenes, nocturnal creatures, and haunts. Additionally, we welcome art that reflects Día de Muertos, as we will be observing this tradition in the gallery during the latter part of the exhibit. All mediums are welcome. 2-D works in any medium must be prepped with a wire, weigh no more than 50 lbs., and not exceed more than 42" in any direction. 3-D work is permitted, but only five pieces can be accepted. Size limitations vary - submit your work and we can discuss possibilities. Artists who are interested will be interviewed during our reception by board member, Pat Grabill.

This exhibit will be open to the public from September 29 - November 2, 2025

Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, excluding holidays. Special gallery hours on October 25 10am-2pm, November 1 & 2 - times TBD.
