Deadline: April 1, 2026

The Opportunity You are invited to submit work for the first-ever installation of the Chelsea Art Alley. This is a unique opportunity to help launch a new cultural landmark in downtown Chelsea.

We are transforming the pedestrian corridor between 105 and 107 Main Street (behind Geek Brush Studio) into a 24/7 weatherproof outdoor gallery. Selected works will be reproduced on high-quality, weather-resistant aluminum panels and displayed year-round.

The Main Street Masterpiece Competition Being in the alley automatically enters you into the Main Street Masterpiece competition. During the Sounds & Sights Festival (June-July), thousands of visitors will view the alley and vote for their favorite piece.

• Win or lose, your art stays up. Even if you don't win the popular vote, your panel will remain on display for up to one year, serving as a 24/7 billboard for your work.

Why Submit?

• Legacy: Be one of the founding artists in this permanent community fixture.

• Visibility: Your work seen by thousands of festival-goers and daily pedestrians.

• Sales: Every panel features a QR code linking to your portfolio.

Submission Guidelines

• Open to local (Chelsea) and regional artists.

• All 2D mediums welcome (Painting, Digital, Photography, Mixed Media).
