Oswego, Ill. – The Oswego Cultural Arts Commission invites local artists and artist collectives to submit proposals for artwork to be displayed at Oswego Village Hall in 2025.

Up to four exhibits will be selected, with each show displayed for an agreed-upon period. The available space at Village Hall includes two sections of the lobby, as well as an additional display case for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art.

Selected pieces will be chosen with consideration to the public setting, and artists are welcome to display works for sale, with contact and pricing details provided as part of the exhibit.

Artists interested in participating must submit a completed Art at Village Hall application, which includes the ability to upload proposals and images of the artwork to be considered. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2024.
