Call for Art: Be Part of the 2026 Art Exhibition During SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Are you an artist inspired by rivers, resilience, or the power of people coming together? SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival and the Nevada County Arts Council invite you to submit your artwork for SYRCL’s 2026 Wild & Scenic Art Exhibition, during our Wild & Scenic Film Festival February 19-23. This year’s exhibition will be taking place in two places, the Granucci Gallery at the Grass Valley Center for the Arts during fest and, as part of the Arts in Public Spaces initiative, the Rood Center atrium from January 16 through May 1, 2026. SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival was born out of the South Yuba River Citizens League’s fight to protect the Yuba River. The Art Exhibition continues that legacy, using creativity to inspire activism and connection. This year’s theme, Mobilize, calls on artists to explore motion, momentum, and collective energy whether through nature’s rhythms or humanity’s call to act.
