Brilliant Midnight – Call for submissions
We want your art that showcases the light, dark, and shadows to bring our community together this winter. We welcome artists to submit paintings, photography, fiber art, sketches, collage/mixed media, and sculpture, but if you have something that isn’t on this list, please send it our way for consideration. The Lake Placid Public Library‘s community art show is just that–a place for varied creative voices in the depths of our North Country winter. Established and emerging artists are encouraged to submit their work.
To submit your work for consideration, please fill out the online submission form and include:
- Digital image of your work
- 100-200 word artist statement
- Dimensions of your work
- Media type (example: painting, photograph, film, sculpture, textile, etc.)
- If this artwork has been shown before, please include when and where it was shown (example: Lake Placid Center for the Arts, July-August 2023)
The deadline for all submissions is Monday, November 16, 2026. Please limit 3 submissions per artist. Fill out one submission form per piece. You will be notified about whether your work has been chosen by early December. If your work is selected, the deadline to drop it off at the Lake Placid Public Library is Wednesday, December 23, 2026. Works will be on display from January through March (2027). Artists must return to pick up their pieces. Exact dates of the show will be announced when works are selected.

About Guy Brewster Hughes

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to exhibit? No.
May I sell my work? Yes. Art may be for sale, but the artist works directly with interested customers. The library can not support the sales process beyond offering contact information.
Do I need to be a professional artist? No. Emerging artists are encouraged to apply.
Can groups submit? Yes.
Is artwork insured? Yes. Each artist provides a listing with the estimated value of each piece to the library before displaying their collection.
How far in advance are exhibitions scheduled? As soon as possible!
How many people will see my show? Our visitor numbers ebb and flow with the seasonal population in Lake Placid. Summer months are most highly sought after, as we receive over 200 visitors daily between the end of June and late August.
