Fine Line is using CaFE for Kavanagh Gallery Calls. Artists can sign up for free by clicking the link below.
2026 Shows:
June 18 - July 17, 2026
The color spectrum—Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet—is the focus of this show. Artists should pick one color from the spectrum for each piece they submit. If submitting more than one piece, the colors can be the same or different. Each piece may include many shades of a color, but only one color overall. Art should not contain any other color, including but not limited to white, black, brown, and grey. This all-media show is open to both 2-D and 3-D works.
July 23 - August 19. 2026
Artists are invited to submit original artwork for the Sculpture at the Kavanagh exhibit to be held at the Kavanagh Gallery of Fine Line Creative Arts Center, St. Charles, Illinois. The show is open to any 3-D work in any sculpture or craft medium. No paintings, photographs, or other 2-D work will be accepted.
Deadline to apply: April 5, 2026
This year's Fox River Art Ramble is on June 6. This year's one-day arts event will celebrate the arts in the Tri-Cities - St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia.
Options to participate:
1. As an artist in your home or retail studio
2. As an art gallery or store (promoting the art of individual artists)
3. As an arts organization - includes performing or visual arts
All of the above options must have brick-and-mortar locations for people to visit and be located in St. Charles, Geneva or Batavia.
If you are an artist without a brick-and-mortar location or you don't want to open your space to the public, why not apply for a tent space at Fine Line? This option is open to any artist from any area; you do not have to live in St. Charles, Geneva, or Batavia to apply for a space at Fine Line.
A non-refundable $100.00 fee applies to all options.
