Call for Native American Artists
The Freeport Art Museum has an open call for Native American artists within a 150-mile radius of Freeport, Illinois, which is located in the far northwestern corner of the state. This radius includes the major metro locations of Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee. This call seeks to award two solo exhibitions as part of the BIPOC initiative, which will open October 25th, 2025 and runs through December 27th, 2025.
This will be the fifth and final year of this initiative, which, works to fundamentally transform the diversity showcased in FAM’s exhibitions and foster a welcoming environment for the public, especially BIPOC audiences.
The initiative’s primary goals are to create an environment where the community is included in programs and activities, to broaden the art exhibited in ways that promote social and racial equity and celebrate the knowledge and contributions of our diverse community.
Each artist that applies for consideration will be reviewed by the two BIPOC exhibiting artists from 2024, and the Exhibitions Committee. The number of artworks to be exhibited will depend on the nature and size of the work - typically 10 to 20 pieces.
