Artist Calls

The Art Lane

The Art Lane is a partnership between the Star Valley Arts Council and the Town of Thayne to showcase local art at the Thayne Community Center. We are always on the lookout for talented artists to showcase their work in our group-themed exhibitions.

We welcome submissions from emerging and established artists alike, offering a platform to display your creativity and connect with the community.

We accept all hangable mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and multimedia works.

Themes will change quarterly, and we encourage artists to create pieces for each exhibition to stretch their creativity!
