Local artists are encouraged to submit their work for consideration by Monday, May 11, 2026, at 4 p.m. Each artist may submit two original pieces created within the past two years.

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, America250 encourages artists to reflect on the people, places, and history that have cultivated and defined this nation.

To honor the rich heritage of this country, artists are invited to explore themes that reflect Americana and/or the personal narratives that embody America’s evolution over the past 250 years.

Union Station, a cornerstone of historic 25th Street in downtown Ogden, features two art galleries and permanent exhibitions of antique automobiles, Browning firearms, railroad artifacts, and locomotives. The Community Art Show, hosted in partnership with Ogden City Arts, offers Utah artists a unique opportunity to display their work in this dynamic, historically rich setting.
There is no entry fee to submit artwork. Artists whose pieces are selected for special recognition will receive an honorarium.

The exhibition will open to the public on Friday, June 12, 2026, and will run through Friday, August 21, 2026.

Submission Deadline: Monday, May 11, 2026, at 4 p.m.
