Final Call to Submit Works for 2025 Ohio Veterans Art Exhibition

The deadline to submit art pieces for the 2025 Ohio Veterans Art Exhibition is fast approaching.

The Ohio Department of Veterans Services, through its ongoing partnership with the Ohio Arts Council, will display the exhibition in downtown Columbus this fall, but artists need to submit all works for consideration no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 1. Those submissions can be done online at artcall.org.

Ohio’s active duty and veteran artists are invited to showcase their artistic talents for this wide-ranging and public event, which will be viewable in the first-floor lobby of the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts.

Exhibition dates: October 21 – December 6.

While space is limited for this exhibition, they welcome all suitable mediums, including 3-dimensional pieces. They also welcome entries from veteran artists of varying backgrounds and levels of expertise. (Note: Keep in mind that your artwork does not necessarily need to depict aspects of military service.)

Expert juror, Air Force resident and accomplished artist Daniel King of Lancaster, Ohio, will review all submissions and give them careful consideration.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

You must be …

• Living in Ohio
• A current U.S. military member or veteran
