Art on the Wall Call for Artists
 City of Lafayette
Cultural Resources Division
Artwork Submission Form – All Locations
The City of Lafayette Cultural Resources Division coordinates art displays in three city facilities. In order to give as many artists as possible the opportunity to participate, we will do a call for artists annually. Artwork will be selected by a panel of community members. Generally we ask that you request a space every other year, however non-profit groups may be allowed to use space more frequently. Work will typically be shown for a one month time period. Artists showing their work at the Library or Senior Services may request permission to hold a reception. Guidelines for receptions will be provided at the time your show is confirmed.
Guidelines for Artwork Submissions
All art must be ready display, including framing, matting & hanging. Please ensure that your work is:
-
Framed

Assembled

All artwork must have hanging wire

Please provide an artist’s statement either framed and able to be hung , or in a clear acrylic stand
