Dane Arts is now accepting submissions for the 25th edition of its annual arts calendar and poster, highlighting the wonderful and talented artists of Dane County. The theme for 2025 is “Curious by Nature,” and the deadline to apply is Friday, May 31, 2024 by 4 p.m.

 

“We encourage all Dane County artists to consider applying for this unique opportunity to spotlight their work and the vibrant cultural life of our area,” said interim Dane County Executive Patrick Miles. “Dane County is proud to be home to a strong community of local artists. We look forward to showcasing their work in the upcoming calendar year.”

 

Original artwork in all mediums will be considered, including professionally photographed two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. Applying artists must be Dane County residents at the time of submitting. New artists who have not been selected for past Cultural Affairs publications are highly encouraged to submit work. 

 

Works that are selected will reflect the 2025 theme; unique beauty, stories, history, and people of Dane County; and will evoke and represent the diversity of Dane County cultural life. Other criteria include artistic quality, balance of seasonal representations of Dane County, and market appeal. All images submitted will be considered for selection. 12 images will be chosen for the calendar, and one image will be chosen for the poster.

 

The suggested donation to apply is $25, but remains optional should this pose a financial challenge for applicants. Artists will be notified of the status of their application no later than Friday, June 21, 2024. Selected artists will receive the following honorarium for reproduction rights in calendar, poster, and promotions:

• Calendar: $125 (per image)
• Poster: $500*
• Selected artists also receive five free calendars and posters for personal distribution.

*Poster honorarium subject to change based upon design.
