Larson Gallery Guild
Members’ Exhibition
Members’ Exhibition
Exhibiting: June 13, 2026 – July 11, 2026
Opening Reception: June 13th; 3-5pm
This annual non-juries exhibition highlights the creativity of the members of the Larson Gallery Guild . The Larson Gallery Guild currently consists of approximately 414 members and in 2025 this show had 103 entries. Since Guild members can only exhibit one piece in the exhibit, members are very selective about their work and choose their best piece. What makes this exhibit special is its variety of media. Many artists use this time to explore and exhibit the result of a new process.
To submit artwork for this exhibition please fill out the form linked below.
Deadline for Entry: May 5th, 2026
