Call for Artists

Not So Silent Night Featured Artist Show

Each December, REACH Studio Art Center hosts A Not So Silent Night, an annual community and fundraising event. 2024 marks the 21st A Not So Silent Night celebration and we are looking forward to hosting a festive event filled with refreshments, food, performances, a silent auction, and the Featured Artist Exhibition. Thanks to the generosity of local artists and businesses this event has raised over $15,000 in past years to support REACH's mission of providing equitable access to arts programming in the greater Lansing area. This year's event will be hosted on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

An important part of this annual event is the Featured Artist Exhibition which is a group show featuring the work of regional artists. REACH is seeking artists from around Michigan with new or recently created artworks to apply to be part of this annual gallery exhibition. Please submit this form no later than June 15, 2024 to be considered for this year's Featured Artist Show.

Finished art pieces, prepared for hanging, must be delivered to REACH by October 23 and the show will be in the gallery from November 1-December 7, 2024. All artwork must be available for sale and the purchase price will be split 50/50 between the artist and REACH. Selected artists may also provide prints to be sold in the REACH "store" during the duration of the exhibition.

The Selection Process: The REACH A Not So Silent Night Committee, comprised of REACH staff, board, and community members, will select artists for the event. Curatorial discretion will guide the selection process, considering quality, cohesion among artworks, suitability for the REACH community, and gallery capacity.
