2024 IMAGE Art Show Call for Entries
Entry Deadline
Noon on November 12th, 2024
This is the 37th year of IMAGE, an annual judged art show, sponsored by the East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC). In the past, the IMAGE Art Show was hosted by various art groups, organizations, or groups of individuals interested in the arts. For the last 10 years, ECRAC has been honored to host the show and the number of entrants has greatly increased!
This year the IMAGE Art Show will take place at the
Grand Event Center in Mora, Minnesota,
on December 6, 7 & 8, 2024.
There is no fee to participate in IMAGE. However, artists or culture bearers wishing to exhibit a work of visual art in the IMAGE Art Show must read and complete the online entry form and submit it before or on the deadline date of November 12, 2024, at noon. No late entries can be accepted.
If you need assistance with your entry or if you have any questions, you can leave a message at (320) 336-0200 or, preferably, email image@ecrac.org.
All IMAGE Art Show exhibitors must be at least 18 years old and be residents of Region 7E (the Minnesota Counties of Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine, and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe lands). Artwork must be original (conceived and executed by you, the artist exhibitor- not from a pattern), recent (completed within the last three years), and the artwork must not have been exhibited in prior IMAGE Art Shows. This is not a juried show, ECRAC encourages creators of all levels to enter.
