Call for Artists: Guest Artist Residency – Art Along the Lake 2026

The Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery (JHP) is seeking a guest artist to feature during this year’s Art Along the Lake (September 25 – October 4, 2026).

We are specifically looking for an artist whose work and presence will engage our community and visitors during this popular event.

The Opportunity

We are offering a dedicated 8' x 8' showcase space in the corner of our center gallery. Because this event coincides with our annual Plein Air exhibit, wall space is at a premium; therefore, we are giving strong preference to three-dimensional work or artists whose display does not rely heavily on rod/hanging space.

JHP will provide:

  • A high-traffic display area during a peak tourism window.

  • Sales management and professional gallery representation.

  • Promotion of your work and scheduled programming.

  • Storage space for backstock and daily maintenance of the display.

What We’re Looking For

  • Artists whose work furthers the goal of sharing regional artistic heritage.

  • We are specifically seeking an artist available for on-site programming, such as artist talks, live demonstrations, or workshops.

  • While we welcome all applications, priority will be given to working regional artists. Non-regional applications will be considered after regional reviews are complete.

  • JHP retains a 35% commission on the retail price of all artwork sold.

How to Apply

This is a quick-turnaround opportunity! Please ensure your application is submitted by the deadline.

We look forward to hearing from you!
