Minnesota Capitol Art Exhibit Advisory Committee Call for Art
Capitol Art Exhibit Advisory Committee Call for Art
The Capitol Art Exhibit Advisory Committee is excited to continue to announce the next Call for Art Exhibit Proposals. CAEAC is accepting proposals until July 6, 2025. This call for art is for the 3rd floor gallery at the Capitol building in St Paul, which offers great exposure and a resume builder opportunity. The time period is the calendar year 2027. Three exhibits will be chosen.
Requirements for Proposed Exhibitions
Exhibits must comply with (at least) one of the criteria outlined in Minnesota Statues 15B.36―that art exhibits should tell Minnesota stories and engage people to:
reflect on Minnesota history;
understand Minnesota government;
recognize the contributions of Minnesota's diverse peoples;
inspire citizen engagement; and
appreciate the varied landscapes of Minnesota.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the depth by which the art addresses these requirements and the provided scoring criteria.
