The Phipps Center for the Arts invites visual artists to submit their work for consideration for solo, two-person and small group exhibition opportunities in the six professional exhibition spaces of the Phipps Galleries for the 2027-2028 season. Artists may additionally choose to be considered for our Enriching Arts program which brings original art to community exhibition locations, including healthcare and senior living facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. 

We welcome traditional and non-traditional media, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, digital art, photography, printmaking, drawing, fiber, ceramics, video, and installation. The Phipps is looking for a diverse range of perspectives, styles, and techniques and we encourage artists of all backgrounds and media to apply.

There is an application fee of $10. If this fee presents a barrier for any reason, please reach out to artexhibits@thephipps.org.

Selection Process:

Submissions will be anonymously juried by the Arts Engagement Director and members of the Phipps Visual Arts Council which includes artists, art professionals and those with an interest in promoting the arts in the St. Croix Valley. We will evaluate submissions based on creativity, technical skill, and overall impact. Artists who have exhibited in the Phipps galleries within the past two years are not eligible for consideration and submitted work must be new to the Phipps (excluding Members' Spotlight and large group exhibitions).

Work must be recently completed, original, and executed solely by the artist. All work must be gallery-ready for exhibition. The Phipps reserves the right to determine acceptability. We look forward to seeing your work!
