The January/February 2026 show is titled “Pot Luck”. As the name suggests, anything will be accepted. I am not concerned about what year the art was created or the media. Just original to you and not shown at ACAI during the past 3 years. Please submit online by December 31, 2025. The show opens January 7th and runs through February 21st, with the Artist Reception on January 17th.
The March/April 2026 show is titled “ Around the Worlds”. This is wide open because it depends on which world you want to explore with your art. Examples are – Earth – All the different worlds in Science Fiction novels – Your World of Interest, which could include your job or a place you like to be, like in front of the TV, or sitting in the Library, or Cooking – There are so many choices, you could come up with another!!
To submit your art, please use the 2 forms below.
Submit by February 25th. Drop off between February 23rd and 27th by appointment. The show opens on March 4th.
