The Riverfront Arts Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, is inviting artists to submit proposals for an upcoming fall exhibition titled "The Studio." Unlike traditional shows, this exhibition will focus on the creative process by recreating artist workspaces, displaying tools, materials, and works-in-progress rather than just finished artworks. Proposals are due by August 22, 2025, with no entry fee, and participating artists will receive free entry to the center's open calls throughout 2026.
This exhibition matters because it shifts the focus from final products to the often-hidden process of making art, offering the public a rare glimpse into how artists work. By prioritizing process over outcome, the Riverfront Arts Center fosters deeper community engagement with art-making and supports local artists by removing financial barriers to participation.
