Call for Artists: Midwest Mythologies

The Minnesota Artists Guild and Paramount Center for the Arts invite artists to submit work for Midwest Mythologies, a collaborative exhibition exploring the stories, legends, folklore, and modern myths that shape the cultural identity of the American Midwest.

Artists are invited to explore themes including Indigenous traditions, frontier folklore, Paul Bunyan, cryptids, haunted landscapes, immigrant storytelling, agricultural lore, Great Lakes mysteries, roadside attractions, regional superstitions, labor identity, and the stories we inherit and create about place, memory, identity, and belonging.

The exhibition will run throughout March 2027 at the Paramount Center for the Arts in St. Cloud, Minnesota. A Twin Cities-area artwork drop-off site will be arranged and announced for participating artists.

Application deadline: January 20, 2027.
