Quad City Arts, in collaboration with Mercado on Fifth, invites artists ages 18 and older, residing within 250 miles of the Quad Cities, to submit original artwork for Visions and Voices: A Celebration of Hispanic Art, a juried group exhibition celebrating the creativity, culture, and diverse perspectives of artists in our region. Hispanic/Latin/Latinx artists encouraged to apply. The exhibition will be on view at Quad City Arts’ Rock Island Gallery from October 10 – December 5, 2025. Artists may submit up to three original works in any visual art medium, including painting, photography, sculpture, textile, mixed media, ceramics, and more. All artwork must be original and created by the submitting artist. Reproductions will not be accepted.
Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of art professionals and evaluated on originality, technical skill, composition, impact, and craftsmanship. Selected works must be professionally presented and ready for gallery installation.
This exhibition is part of a broader collaboration with Mercado on Fifth to amplify artistic voices through community storytelling, cultural celebration, and public engagement. First time participating in an exhibition? Don’t worry! We’re here to support you and help you share your voice through art.
