OUR GALLERY EVENTS CALENDAR
The Art in Miniature show has been a long-standing tradition at the Gallery. All submitted artworks are 12″ x 12″ or less including framing. It’s a great opportunity to collect local artists’ original work in a smaller size and price. A reception is planned in Gallery 444 on February 7th from 5-8 PM. Meet the Artists, joing us for refreshments and door-prizes.
If you are an artists and would like to participate in the show, click HERE for the show prospectus. Feb 15th is our submission deadline.
Each spring AiA presents a fresh artistic challenge and April exhibit. The theme for the 2025 show will be announced very soon. Artists from the community are encouraged to submit work for this showing. The resulting art exhibition is held during April at Elsinore Gallery, 444 Ferry St SE, in downtown Salem, Oregon. Opening night reception and awards ceremony coincides with Salem’s First Friday events.
AiA’s inaugural springtime call and exhibit was titled “Spring Reign.” For our second annual event, we asked artists to create works inspired by the phrase, “Spring Eternal.” For our third event, in 2022, the theme was “Spring Fling” and for the fourth event, in 2023, the theme was “Essence of Spring” and last year we called for art interpreting either Spring or Renewal (or both).
Spring Renewal – Call to Artists – coming January 13th. 2025
