Inspire ~ Connect ~ Energize
The Franklin County Visitors Bureau invites area artists to participate in Art on ICE, a winter art exhibition celebrating creativity, community, and the spirit of the season. The exhibit will be on display at the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center from January 26, 2026 through February 27, 2026.
Open to artists age 16 through adult, Art on ICE welcomes up to three original works in any medium. Two‑dimensional pieces must be wired for hanging. Personally created digital art is accepted; however, AI‑generated digital art is not eligible. There is no entry fee, and artists may choose to offer their work for sale. The Visitors Bureau will take no commission on sold pieces.
“Art on ICE is designed to spark inspiration, strengthen community connections, and energize our winter season,” said the Franklin County Visitors Bureau. “We look forward to showcasing the incredible talent found throughout our region.”
There is no entry fee and no commission fees for works sold. Artists are invited to download the entry form here.
