Since 1965, the Rennick Art Exhibition has showcased the original work of Peoria area artists by sharing the many unique and diverse visions and versions of Peoria history. The 2025 Rennick will be held in May in the Gilmore Auditorium of the Peoria Riverfront Museum with a theme of “Visual Context.” Three entries per person will be accepted, and cash prizes totaling $1,000 will be awarded by our judge. We encourage participation of artists of different ages, identities, and areas of artistic exploration and media. The goal of the Rennick is to enable local artists to flourish, market, and sell their works—and also educate the community on Peoria history and the talented creatives who celebrate it.
Special features include:
• No registration or entry fees
• Open to artists high school age and up
• Open to any artist who has a Peoria connection
• Limited number of three-dimensional work accepted
• No commission on sales for artists who are PHS members
The Rennick 2025 is now accepting submissions! For more information and a copy of the guidelines and entry form, email Elizabeth Klise [email protected] or call 309-674-1921.
