The Fishers Arts Council is inviting artists from Central Indiana and surrounding areas to submit work for three upcoming exhibits at the Art Gallery inside Fishers City Hall, scheduled for February, March and April 2026.
Calls for art are open to individuals ages 16 and older who meet the requirements of each exhibit theme. Full details and submission links are available at this link.
The February exhibit, Embracing Black Culture, will feature a collaboration with eighth-grade students from Fall Creek Junior High. Students will create artwork inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of Double Consciousness and the artistic style of Everlyn Nicodemus. Their work will be displayed alongside pieces from community artists. Participating artists may either follow the same prompt as the students or submit work they feel embraces Black culture. The submission deadline for this exhibit has been extended to January 20.
In March, the Arts Council will again partner with the Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability for March Disability Awareness, an annual exhibit that has been held since 2017. The exhibit is open to visual and performing artists who identify as having a disability, as well as organizations that support individuals with disabilities. Performing artists selected for the exhibit will have the opportunity to perform at the Second Friday reception on March 13. The application deadline is February 16.
April will introduce a new exhibit titled Spring Blooms with Poetry – Tiny Art. The show will focus on small-scale 2D and 3D artworks no larger than 8 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches, paired with poetry. The Fishers Arts Council will print and frame accepted poems. Submissions are encouraged to celebrate art, nature, poetry and beauty, though any all-ages-appropriate subject matter will be considered. The deadline to apply is March 16.
In addition to visual art opportunities, the Fishers Arts Council is also seeking musicians for its 2026 Season of Art. The program offers paid performance opportunities for solo artists, duets and trios in Arts Council gallery spaces and those of Gallery Hop partners. At least 28 performance slots are available, with scheduling information and an interest form posted on the Arts Council website.
The Fishers Arts Council is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting and cultivating visual and performing arts that enhance the quality of life in Fishers. Its gallery space is located inside the Fishers Municipal Center.
