The Newton Department of Arts and Culture invites artists to submit original artwork for exhibition in the City Hall Gallery Program from Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 22. Selected artists will have the opportunity to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Newton by sharing their creativity in Newton’s majestic City Hall.

The upcoming Call for Art will cover the exhibition period that runs from July 1 through September 30, 2026.
Two-dimensional artwork in all media forms is welcome. Artwork must adhere to the City Hall Gallery Policy, be ready to hang, and be compatible with the City Hall hanging system.
