Art in Motion is a celebration of art, movement, and community!

Coinciding with Plein Air, the town’s most-celebrated annual art festival, this gallery event will draw residents and visitors together to explore the intersections of creativity and mobility. The event will kick off on July 11, 2025, at the gallery space and tent at 17 East Dover Street, featuring light refreshments, and a preview of the curated art collection.

.At the heart of Art in Motion is a call for artists to submit works inspired by themes of motion, community, and the outdoors. Paintings, sculptures, and other media will be showcased and available for purchase throughout the event. A 30% commission from each sale will benefit Talbot Thrive, supporting our mission. By encouraging artists to interpret these themes, the event aims to spark meaningful connections between creativity and Talbot Thrive’s mission of promoting collaboration, inclusion, healthy lifestyles, and a safer, more accessible environment for everyone.

We are seeking photography, 2- and 3-dimensional art works—figurative or abstract—that celebrate movement, human mobility, our local trails, and non-vehicular modes of transportation, as well as works that incorporate movement or involve equipment or parts of equipment used for mobility. Please keep the focus on people (no boats, seascapes, or animals subjects). Note that all paintings and photographs must be original and properly framed for the show. We reserve the right to remove paintings from the show that do not conform to these guidelines.
