Call for 2025 Solo and Group Exhibitions

Waseca Art Center (WAC) is a rural nonprofit organization that offers the opportunity for all people to understand and value the arts. Through exhibits and programs, we present a welcoming and diverse experience that encourages questioning, creativity, and critical thinking. The WAC has two gallery spaces which each host one exhibit every six weeks. The WAC Exhibit Committee is seeking proposals for solo and group exhibitions for 2025 that focus on MN subjects, agriculture, nature, and community. Political commentary will not be considered.

$150 exhibit fee for exhibiting artists, non-profit and community groups. WAC provides the reception and marketing for your event. Please do not let this fee stop you from applying; we may have sponsorship available to those wishing for assistance. There is no fee to apply. 

We have also updated our fee for gallery sales; WAC asks for 30% commission. Please let us know how much you would like to receive for your artwork and we will add our fee on top of that [i.e.: you would like $100 for a framed photograph – WAC will list it at $130].

• Artist Statement, one page maximum
