Calls for Artists
The Kavanagh Gallery is an open, light-filled space designed to showcase a variety of art exhibits. Each year, the gallery displays between six and seven shows. Below is our current list of artist opportunities.
Interested in having your art on our campus? If you are an outdoor sculpture artist, we have a great opportunity for you. Fine Line is giving local artists the opportunity to display their work at our campus for 12 months.
This is a rolling sculpture show. If accepted, your art will remain at Fine Line for 12 months, unless sold. At the end of the 12 months, depending on availability and discussion with staff, you may be able to have your work remain for another year.

Artists are invited to submit original artwork for Vivid at the Kavanagh Gallery of Fine Line Creative Arts Center, St. Charles, Illinois. Work in this show will have unmistakable energy and a lively, dynamic composition that elicits a strong reaction from the viewer. Vivid artworks need bold, vibrant, saturated hues. All media are accepted. Maximum size is 48” wide.
February 18 - April 2, 2027
A forest can be an amazing, sometimes mystical place. Light filtering through the canopy of
trees reveal the many plants and animals that call the forest home. It can also open your
imagination to rarer, mythical forest dwellers. Fantastical creatures, fairies, elves, and the
occasional unicorn might be seen out of the corner of your eye. This exhibit will show the wonders, both real and imaginary, of a walk in the forest.
Work in all 2D and 3D media will be considered by the jury.
