Current SCAC-Sponsored Call for Artists
Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC) maintains an active list of Call to Artists (of all varieties) focusing on Seminole County and the broader Central Florida region. As a professional courtesy to fellow artists, nonprofits, and community partners, if your organization would like your Call to Artists posted, please email us complete details for review. Please note that just because SCAC receives a request to send a Call to Artists to our Artists' Registry, automatic acceptance is not guaranteed. If your Call to Artists is selected to be sent to our Artists' Registry, we are happy to do so free of charge. However, acceptance does not imply any association with or endorsement of the event and/or the individual(s) or organization sponsoring the Call for Artists.
"Moments that Made Us: 250 Years in Focus"
Call for Artists - Due 5/22/2026
SCAC has released a new Call for Artists. See below for more info!
Call to Artists – SCAC – Art in Public Places Program
Theme: “Moments That Made Us: 250 Years in Focus”
“Moments That Made Us: 250 Years in Focus” invites artists to explore the American story through the power of photography, capturing images that reflect the people, places, and experiences that have shaped our nation over the past 250 years. From quiet, everyday moments to powerful expressions of identity, community, and change, the exhibit highlights how history lives on in the present. Works may be in color or black and white, offering a range of perspectives and artistic styles. While submissions can draw from across the American experience, artists are encouraged to highlight subjects connected to Seminole County whenever possible. Inspired by the American Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026 and presented as part of the Seminole 250 celebrations, this exhibit brings together a collective visual narrative of where we have been and who we are today.

"Gather to Celebrate"
Call for Artists - Due 6/12/2026
SCAC has released a new Call for Artists. See below for more info!
***
Call to Artists – SCAC – Art in Public Places Program
Theme: “Gather to Celebrate”
“Gather to Celebrate” invites artists to explore the shared human impulse to come together as we mark life’s meaningful moments. Inspired by the United States’ 250th anniversary, the exhibition looks beyond historical milestones to focus on the ways people celebrate across cultures, generations, and communities. Featured works may include depictions of public gatherings such as parades, festivals, and civic events, as well as personal milestones like weddings, birthdays, graduations, and family traditions. Through a range of mediums and perspectives, the exhibition highlights how acts of gathering, whether joyful, reflective, or ceremonial, create connection, preserve memory, and express identity. Together, these works offer a vibrant and inclusive portrait of celebration as a universal and unifying experience.
