Call for Artist Submissions
OPEN CALLS
Once Upon A Time: The Renaissance
The Ormond Memorial Art Museum has open calls related to their interactive, five-week fundraising experience taking place this Fall (October 10 - November 15, 2026). Both the exhibition and events are curated; not all submissions will be accepted.
CALL FOR PERFORMERS / ORIGINAL POSTER ART: Visual artists are encourage to submit original work inspired by the Renaissance. If selected, their artwork will be featured on the official Once Upon A Time poster (with artist credit) and will be incorporated into other printed/digital materials to promote all related events. Submission Deadline for Poster Art is July 10, 2026. Musicians, actors, puppeteers, dancers, spoken word artists, and other interactive/roaming characters have the opportunity to participate at one or more of the Once Upon A Time signature events. Submission Deadline for Performers is August 16, 2026.
CALL FOR EXHIBITION ITEMS: Renaissance inspired/influenced works of fine art, fashions, accessories or decorative objects. Submission Deadline: August 16, 2026.
Art Walk Pop-Up Solo Exhibitions
Emerging and established artists have the opportunity to exhibit their work at Ormond Memorial Art Museum as part of a curated three-day pop-up show held in conjunction with the First Saturday Ormond Art Walk. Typically, artwork is displayed on easels in the Reception Gallery, and is setup the day before the Art Walk (preferably at 10am Friday) and remains up the day after the event (with pickup at 3:30pm that Sunday). The exhibiting artist should be present at the museum during the Art Walk (3-7pm). The artist may sell their work (commission-free), and there is no charge to participate. Interested artists should complete this online form. Please submit up to 10 pieces for consideration. OMAM will select up to 10 pieces. Please also write a thoughtful artist statement for the collection of work you are submitting, or write individual artist statements for each piece submitted, as this is a part of the selection process. Incomplete entries will not be reviewed.
Pop-Up submissions will be open through August 2026. Entries will be reviewed starting in September 2026.
