The Carolyn Fiedler-Alber Gallery at Allens Lane Art Center has slots available for each season and encourages area artists to submit materials for consideration for an exhibition. Our gallery committee reviews all submissions and chooses exhibits for the coming season. If accepted, artists may be asked to exhibit in either a group show or a solo exhibition at the discretion of the center. There are no fees to submit materials for review. The review process may take several weeks. The gallery welcomes artists working in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, glass, ceramic, fiber, photography, collage and other craft disciplines.
For accepted artists:
- Exhibitions are usually at least one month in length (may be shorter or longer depending on the demands of the season).
- The center produces printed exhibition cards for the center's mailing list.
- The center supplies the artist(s) with a supply for the use by the artist(s).
- The center promotes the exhibitions on our website and in our monthly newsletters.
- The center requests a 30% commission for all sales of work within the exhibition.
- The center hosts a cocktail reception for each exhibition.
- The exhibitions are free and open to the public for the duration of the exhibition.
- The center does not pay for shipping of the works either to or from the artist or buyer.
To be considered for an exhibition, interested artists should submit:
- 10 - 15 slides, digital images on CD, or photographs - images submitted must be representative of the work intended for exhibition. Works must be properly identified with title, date (year), medium and dimensions.
- Personal websites that have 10-15 works represented on them may also be submitted provided that the works be properly identified (as above).
- Artist Resume
- Artist Statement
- Supplemental materials welcome but not necessary
- SASE if you want your materials returned.
Deadline: March 1st OF EACH YEAR. You must include a self-address stamped envelope for the return of your materials. Materials submitted without this envelope will not be returned. If a curated show is proposed, curator must submit samples from all artists in the exhibition, a show synopsis, and a curators Bio/CV. Materials will not be returned until September. Decisions are not based on when materials are received (i.e. early submissions are not given priority). Materials should be mailed or dropped off to:
