Call for Artists: Seeking artists for The Short List

The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County announces an Open Call to Palm Beach County artists for its upcoming group show The Short List. This exhibition will highlight small works of art in all media as an opportunity for collectors of all types to start or add to a collection. The Cultural Council welcomes visual artists residing in Palm Beach County to submit their artwork for the exhibition opening on March 12th, 2027. 

Artists working in all styles and media (2D & 3D) are welcome to apply. Suggested categories include collage, abstract, whimsical, flora and fauna, and food. 

All works should be “tiny” or no greater than 12 inches framed in their longest dimension. There is no minimum size.

Artists will be accepted on a rolling basis limited to 150 participants.

 Artists may apply with up to three completed individual artworks to be considered for inclusion in The Short List. Please do not apply with sets of artworks (diptych, triptych, etc.) Artwork can complement other artwork, but each must be priced and sold separately. 

When choosing artwork for The Short List, keep in mind that the Cultural Council will be promoting the show as a great opportunity to buy unique, Palm Beach County-based original work, so a price range at or below $500 would be appropriate and will result in higher sales. We will not exclude higher priced works, but the most common price range is $75 - $300.
