Rumriver Art Center is inviting regional artists to apply for solo, duo, or group shows in either of our two galleries. We are a non-profit community art center, and our core philosophy is ‘process over product,’ and exhibiting a wide variety of artistic practices and disciplines, no matter the technical skill level or how long they have been creating art. Exhibition proposals may be submitted online until 11:59 pm on August 21st, 2026. It is FREE to APPLY. If an artist is offered a gallery show at Rumriver Art Center, there is a non-refundable $50 gallery deposit.
Rumriver Art Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is home to two different gallery spaces, the Jan Johansen Gallery and the 21 Step Gallery. We have two new exhibitions every 4 – 5 weeks. Three of these exhibitions are Call for Entries, where we feature artworks from multiple artists at one time. In November and December we hold our annual holiday art market which is held throughout both gallery spaces.
The Jan Johansen Gallery can show both 2D and 3D artwork. This gallery is about 23’ x 17’ and has 9’ tall ceilings, is located on our first floor, and is wheelchair accessible.
The 21 Step Gallery is located on our second floor and can ONLY display 2D work as it is a multipurpose room. This space has 10 foot tall ceilings and approximately 41 feet of wall space. Being that we are located in a historical building, there is unfortunately no elevator to this space. Stairs are the only way to access this gallery.
