2024 IMAGE Art Show
This is the 37th year of IMAGE, an annual judged art show, sponsored by the East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC). The IMAGE Art Show has been hosted by different art groups, organizations, or groups of individuals interested in the arts. In the last few years, ECRAC has hosted the show at the region’s central location in Mora.
This year the IMAGE Art Show will take place at the Grand Event Center in Mora, Minnesota on December 6, 7, and 8. An online gallery of all the artwork will also be available at ECRAC.org.
There is no fee to participate in IMAGE. However, artists wishing to exhibit a work of art in the IMAGE Art Show must read and complete this online entry form and submit it before or on the deadline date of November 12, 2024. No late entries can be accepted. If you need assistance with your entry or if you have any questions you can leave a message at (320) 336-0200, or preferably, email image@ecrac.org.
All IMAGE Art Show exhibitors must be at least 18 years old and be residents of Region 7E (the Minnesota Counties of Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, and Pine). Artwork must be original (conceived and executed by you, the artist exhibitor), recent (completed within the last three years), and must not have been exhibited in prior IMAGE Art Shows.
