2026 Exhibition Gallery Application

The Lanesboro Arts Exhibition Gallery features three to four solo artist exhibitions each year in a variety of visual arts media.

The Lanesboro Arts Exhibition Gallery seeks artworks that enrich both artist and community and exhibit a unique vision, original voice, and quality craftsmanship. These pieces should be diverse and accessible to a wide range of people.

The Lanesboro Arts Gallery connects regional visual artists with the vibrant arts community of Lanesboro, Minnesota. The Juried Sales and Exhibition Galleries are a public gathering space where artists are uplifted and visitors are inspired.

In alignment with Lanesboro Art’s mission to serve as a regional catalyst for artistic excellence and educational development in providing diverse art experiences for all ages, the Lanesboro Arts Exhibition Gallery presents exhibitions, programming, and sales opportunities that initiate discussion and connection.

The Lanesboro Arts Exhibition Gallery hosts three to four solo artist shows each year, presenting diverse perspectives and mediums. To allow artists time to develop their work, jury selections are made in advance of the scheduled exhibits.
