The Covington Arts Commission is seeking artists of all mediums, including painting, drawing, photography and mixed media to exhibit their work at the Covington City Hall Art Gallery during the 2017 season. Display months are April, May, June, July, August, September, November and December. Selected artists will display for one month. Display artists will be selected by the Covington Arts Commission.

The City of Covington opened its City Hall Art Gallery in 2004. Since that time, over 100 local artists and groups have displayed their artwork in the gallery. The Covington Parks and Recreation Department, in conjunction with the Covington Arts Commission, is currently accepting submissions from local and regional visual artists to exhibit their original artwork during the 2016 gallery season.

The City of Covington Art Gallery is located in City Hall at 16720 SE 271st Street, Suite 100. There is a 26’ wall designated for art in the City Council Chambers. In addition, there are two track systems behind the Permit Center counter in the Covington City Hall lobby. One is 13 feet long and the other is 4.5 feet long, for a total of 17.5 feet.

Please share this information with fellow artists.

Application deadline: Tuesday, February 21, 2017

Please note that the city’s annual art purchase will be made from one of the artists selected to display during the 2017 season.
