The Adams County Arts Council (ACAC) has announced a call for entries for its 22nd Annual Juried Art Exhibition, scheduled for June 5-29, 2026, at the Arts Education Center in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Open to artists aged 18 and older, the show will be juried by Philip Lindsey, a fine artist and professor at Wilson College. Submissions are due by March 20, with entry fees of $30 for ACAC members and $45 for non-members. For the first time, the exhibition and its accompanying Toast the Artists Reception will be held at the Arts Education Center, marking a milestone for the event.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the ACAC's commitment to fostering a vibrant local arts community by providing a platform for both regional and national artists. The move to host the show at the Arts Education Center signals a strategic investment in the organization's own space, potentially increasing community engagement and visibility for the arts in south-central Pennsylvania. The awards, ranging from $200 to $1,000, also offer tangible support for working artists.
