2026 Arts Alive in Agriculture is now accepting submissions!
The Fresno Arts Council is now accepting submissions for the 13th Annual Arts Alive in Agriculture Juried Exhibition. The Arts Alive in Agriculture Juried Art Show is an annual juried art show that honors the agricultural roots, resources, and traditions of the ethnically-diverse communities in the Central Valley, a large expanse of rich farm land throughout California's San Joaquin Valley that produces the fruits and crops needed to feed the world. The Fresno Arts Council seeks to highlight the Central Valley's agricultural industry by showing original works of art created by Central Valley-based artists.
Categories include: Agricultural Landscapes, People & Agriculture, Machines & Technology in Agriculture, Photography (including manipulated and documentary), and Sculpture, Assemblage & Found Objects.
The deadline to submit your application is Friday, February 6, 2026. The reception will be Thursday, April 30, 2026 in “The Barn” at the San Joaquin Parkway Trust River Center.
We look forward to this event every year, and we are excited to see the new art from local creatives!

Surrounded by the city’s historic public art collection on Fulton Street, Gallery on Fulton celebrates the origins and evolution of ArtHop, showcasing the vibrant work of local artists and performers, and providing a dynamic experience for ArtHop attendees.
Gallery on Fulton takes place on Fulton St. from Inyo to Calaveras Streets from 5:00-8:00p.m. Streets will be open to traffic and display booths will be allowed on sidewalks. The monthly event is managed by Fresno Arts Council under a City of Fresno Special Event Permit. Artists and maker-vendors are required to submit an online application to reserve a space within the eight-block venue. Vendor and exhibitor guidelines and requirements are published on FAC’s website, and applications are available via Submittable. At Gallery on Fulton, the emphasis is on local artists and their original work; re-sale vendors are not allowed within the permit area. Gallery on Fulton welcomes cultural arts and social service organizations offering arts activities to reserve space on Fulton. These organizations must submit an online application and provide an example of the art activity they will present.
