As part of our successful ongoing partnership with the City of Frisco Public Art Program, we're thrilled to offer one VAGF member the opportunity to display their artwork in the Mayor's office at City Hall!

Accepted categories are: painting, drawing and photography. A new artist will be selected on a quarterly basis.

Please note: in order to qualify, artists must be current in their VAGF membership.  

Artists who submitted previously to this program and were not accepted will be able to apply for free by using a special code - email info@vagf.org to request the code.

All submitted works should be ready-to-hang with wire taut at the upper fourth of the frame. Saw hook hanging will not be accepted. All works on  1/2” - 1"  canvases should be framed. All the works on 1 1/2” to 2” canvases need to have neatly painted edges if not framed.

VAGF retains 20% commission from all sales generated through the show.

Artists are encouraged to submit work appropriate for a public area. Art will be on display from June through September 2023 (exact dates to be determined by City Staff).

Submission deadline is June 9, 2023. The installation of the artwork will be scheduled by City staff in collaboration with the selected artist.

Finalists are selected by a VAGF panel of jurors. Final acceptance is subject to the approval by the City officials.
