The Urbandale Art Gallery has over 120 running feet of hanging space with lighting and a professional, flexible hanging system. We also have several glass cases for display of small to medium-sized 3-dimensional works as well! The gallery is located at the front of the library, surrounded by the public meeting rooms. This is a very high-traffic area. Most shows last four to six weeks. There is no compensation and no fees for gallery exhibits; you may arrange sales of your work during the exhibit, and we provide a hosted reception one Sunday during your show.
You can apply to be part of a group show or individual show if you are from the Des Moines metro or surrounding area, and professional and amateur artists are welcome to apply. We jury all submissions in the early fall for consideration for the following year. Please apply at your convenience. 2027 show deadline is September 30, 2026.
