Call for Artists

01If Chairs Could Talk

The Lincoln Museum & Cultural Centre invites emerging and established artists to apply for If Chairs Could Talk.

Inspired by A.J. Casson’s 1953 painting A Yard Scene from the Porch, a Chair in the Foreground, this project asks artists to respond to an object from the Museum’s collection to create an original two-dimensional artwork.

Selected works will be exhibited alongside their source objects in a Fall 2026 exhibition exploring communication throughout the ages.

The call opens March 1, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2026.

Learn more about eligibility, requirements and how to apply by following the link below.
