ARTISTS NEEDED!

The Seminole Cultural Arts Council and the Museum of Seminole County History invite artists to submit work for "Gather to Celebrate," a special exhibition exploring the ways people come together to commemorate life's meaningful moments.

From weddings and birthdays to festivals, parades, reunions, holidays, graduations, memorials, and community traditions, celebrations help us preserve memories, honor milestones, and strengthen our connections to one another. We're seeking artwork that captures the joy, reflection, ceremony, and shared experiences that make these moments memorable.

Whether your work depicts a large public gathering or an intimate personal celebration, we encourage artists to explore the themes of remembrance, commemoration, tradition, and the enduring human desire to gather together.

Artists working in a variety of media are encouraged to apply, including but not limited to watercolor, acrylic, oil painting, mixed media, pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, chalk, colored pencil, Prismacolor, and markers. A limited number of spaces are also available for three-dimensional works and sculpture.

Important Dates:

• Submission Deadline: June 26, 2026
• Final Artwork Selection: On or Before June 30, 2026
• Artwork Delivery and Installation: July 9, 2026
• Exhibition Dates: July 11 through August 1, 2026
• Artist Pickup and Takedown: August 2, 2026

Exhibition Location:
Museum of Seminole County History
300 Eslinger Way
Sanford, FL 32773

Display space is limited, and artists are encouraged to submit early.

Join us as we celebrate the moments, traditions, and memories that bring people together and help tell the stories of our communities.
