    Opportunities

    Main Street Arts offers opportunities for artists in invitational thematic or media-specific exhibitions throughout the year.

    Our open call for work, a general submission for us to consider your work, is also reviewed twice per year for consideration in upcoming exhibitions. Artists also have opportunities to teach workshops or take part in community events.

    In addition to artist opportunities, we also have various opportunities for volunteers to help cultivate a creative community through Main Street Arts!
