AT THE NATIONAL LIBERTY MUSEUM, WE BELIEVE THAT ART AND LIBERTY ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL TO A FREE SOCIETY. ART IS USED AS A TOOL TO UNDERSTAND OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE YOUR OWN.
Throughout the year, the National Liberty Museum publishes call-to-artists in support of our temporary exhibitions. These can range in medium and scope, so make sure to follow us on social media and check this page regularly. If you are interested in getting artist opportunities sent to you, please sign up for our Newsletter! Individual artists, collaborative groups, and creative organizations are encouraged to apply, and all mediums are welcome.
Current Opportunities
Below is a list of opportunities for artists to be involved in the National Liberty Museum outside of our call-to-artists and exhibition opportunities
WINTER 2025-2026 EXHIBITION
Why do humans thrive in communities? Why is the act of gathering, both privately and publicly, fundamental not only to a healthy society, but also a thriving democracy? As a part of the National Liberty Museum 2025-2026’s celebration of The Year of Assembly, the NLM invites artists and creatives to explore these pivotal questions through their unique lenses. Opening Friday, November 14, 2025, the Winter exhibition will juxtapose artworks depicting private, personal gatherings with archival materials showcasing a broad history of public assembly.
Selected works should capture the deep personal value humans experience when gathering privately in ways that illustrate our freedom of association in action—including intimate gatherings around dinner tables, large backyard parties, places of worship or community centers—among many other examples. These intimate moments will stand in contrast to historical and contemporary archives of large-scale, collective assembly—on the streets with parades and protests that bring thousands together, in stadiums roaring with energy, at gatherings and performances in public parks, and even in online forums.
The NLM is looking for artwork in a range of media including, but not limited to: installation, 2D, 3D, digital media, or performance. Accommodations can be made for multimedia works depending on scale and requirements, and artists are encouraged to apply with multiple artworks that are part of a cohesive body of work.
