Call for Artists – Fall Into the Arts Festival: “Celebrating the Prairie”

Registration Deadline: Monday, September 7, 2026

The Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance (PRCA) invites artists to create and submit original three-dimensional artwork for the People’s Choice Art Competition at the 2026 Fall Into the Arts Festival in Morris.

This year’s theme is “Celebrating the Prairie.” Artists are encouraged to interpret the prairie through nature, flora and fauna, history, culture, or other creative approaches.

Eligible entries must be original three-dimensional works and may include sculpture, wood, metal, ceramics, fiber, found materials, glass, mosaic, concrete, mixed media, furniture, garden or yard art, planters, bird baths, rain barrels, and more. Artists are encouraged to be creative and push the boundaries of three-dimensional art. All sizes are welcome, and entries should have a minimum value of $100.

People’s Choice Awards:
1st Place – $300
2nd Place – $200
3rd Place – $100

Each artist who contributes a work to the competition will also receive a free vendor space to display and/or sell their artwork during the festival.

Please note that competition entries are considered donations to PRCA and will be sold during a live auction following the contest, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit organization.

To register by September 7, email prca@prairierenaissance.org with your name, address, phone number, value of the artwork, and, if possible, a photo of your entry. Artists should also indicate whether they would like a vendor booth.
