Artists's Open Call
The Croton Council on the Arts in conjunction with the Croton Free Library is excited to announce a 2026 open call — celebrating women’s history month! Woman artists in all stages of their careers from, or living in, Croton-on-Hudson are welcome to submit their works to be included for this special opportunity. With this two-month exhibition, we aim to highlight the wealth of talent, skill and artistic creativity found here.
We hope this exhibition in March and April 2026, as well as other March events, will give wonderful opportunities for the many talented artists in our community to showcase their work while celebrating the many achievements of women over time.
Jury selected works will be exhibited with sales encouraged, at the library’s Ottinger Room. Please join us for this special celebration, as we continue to engage with the artist community, hoping to make a difference in all our lives.
The Croton Council on the Arts is a non-profit working to help local artists and art lovers:
  • Join and enjoy the community of artists, art lovers, and creative people; and

Croton has a long and continuing tradition of being a magnet for artists of all disciplines. The Croton Council on the Arts was born and grew out of this tradition and Croton’s 1976 Bicentennial celebrations. Local artists and supporters joined forces to stage events for the public in Croton and surrounding villages. Under poet and President Ruth Lisa Schechter’s dynamic leadership, the new council organized many productions in theater and dance, exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography, and musical recitals and poetry readings. The Croton Review, a literary magazine, was published annually in the 1980s. Croton residents greeted these contributions to our Village with great enthusiasm and CCoA quickly became a valuable asset in the cultural life of our community.
CCoA is in constant need of volunteers to help us run our activities, and come up with new projects. It's also a great way to network and enhance your sense of community. CLICK HERE to send email to us if you have questions or want to get involved with CCoA activities.
