The Pump House Regional Arts Center, in conjunction with Artspire La Crosse, proudly presents the Inspired by La Crosse Art Competition. In celebration of La Crosse’s creative community, this competition provides a unique opportunity to showcase our area’s talented artists and enliven our public places with enriching and inspiring content. Three winners from the competition will display their pieces on the walls of La Crosse City Hall for a year and receive a $200 cash prize. This project seeks to unveil the various interests and interpretations of our diverse community and spark vital connections through art.

The online application and submission requirements can be found at www.artspire.thepumphouse.org. Applications will be accepted through May 6, 2024. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces for a $25 fee. Winners will be selected through a jury process and announced during Artspire on Saturday, June 8, 2024 in Riverside Park.
