Inspired by La Crosse 2022 Call to Artists is open now!

We are calling all regional artists to share what they love about La Crosse and what inspires them about the area with this Call to Artists! The ‘Inspired by La Crosse’ Art Competition creates a unique opportunity for La Crosse to publicly showcase our area’s talented artists, and enliven our public places with enriching and inspiring content. The Artspire – Inspired by La Crosse Art Competition proposes that public art cultivates the public’s awareness and appreciation for the arts and establishes a sense of place for the creative people who drive our thriving community.

There will be three pieces selected by our jury and will be unveiled during Artspire, on June 11th. Inspired by La Crosse winning artwork will then be displayed at La Crosse City Hall for one year. Inspired by La Crosse winners will not only have their work displayed in a highly visible, public area, but each winner will receive a $200 award, and a ribbon for their work.

The Inspired by La Crosse Art Competition is coordinated in conjunction with Artspire La Crosse, the largest annual arts celebration in downtown La Crosse, produced by the Pump House Regional Arts Center and sponsored by City of La Crosse Arts Board.

Application Deadline: Sunday, May 22, 2022
