Calling All Local Artists: Show Your Work at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center
Our neighborhood is full of creative people, and the Kennedy Heights Arts Center wants to show off that talent. Their annual Local Talent exhibition is open for submissions, and if you live in Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge, Silverton, or Amberley Village, you're invited to take part.
There's no jury for this show, so every eligible piece gets a spot on the wall. Artists of any experience level, ages 14 and up, can submit one original piece in any medium. The exhibition will hang in KHAC's Lindner Gallery in the Annex at 6620 Montgomery Road from October 17 through December 12, 2026.
Submission guidelines
You may enter one piece, so pick a favorite. Work needs to hang on a wall (no pedestal or floor pieces), weigh 10 pounds or less, and measure no more than 24 inches in any direction. Framing is optional, but framed work should have a hanging wire rather than a sawtooth hanger. Please write your full name and phone number on the back of your piece.
Want to sell your work? Just include a price. If it sells, you'll keep 75% and KHAC will take care of the sale and sales tax. Artists selling work will need to provide a W-9.
Each piece also needs a submission form. You can print one ahead of time from KHAC's website or fill one out when you drop off.
