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. Lanesboro Arts created the Equitable Systems Change Program for the Lanesboro Arts Gallery as a commitment to a thorough review and change of current systems and processes, based on detailed recommendations to align practices with equity values and more deeply serve marginalized artists. This ongoing program provides an important lens that informs both the Juried Sales and Exhibition Galleries.

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. The jury for this call consists of practicing artists and arts professionals who have existing relationships with Lanesboro Arts and are familiar with the regional arts scene.

Exhibitions are approximately eight weeks in length and artists working in all visual arts mediums are encouraged to apply. Artists featured in the 2027 Exhibition Gallery Series must reside in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
