December 1, 2025 (PEORIA, IL) The city of Peoria is accepting applications to display art in suite 207 of City Hall, 419 Fulton Street. Since opening in January 2022, the exhibit in Suite 207 has featured the work of thirty-five local artists. This year-long program grew out of the Public Arts Advisory Commission’s 2021 effort to create a formal process for displaying art created by local artists in City Hall.
The current exhibit features fifteen artists and will remain on display through January 2026. Each participating artist receives a dedicated webpage with images of their work and an artist statement, along with a short video highlighting their practice. Artwork for the upcoming exhibit will be on display from March of 2026 through January of 2027.
Eligible applicants must live in or maintain a studio in Peoria. Artwork must be two-dimensional, framed, and ready to hang.
A full list of requirements and the application, along with current and past artists, is available on the city of Peoria website. The application deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 16, 2026.
Applicants must submit:
• A completed application (available on the city’s website)
• An artist statement, brief biography, and high-resolution images (jpg preferred)
