The gallery has exhibition slots available each year and encourages area artists to submit materials for consideration for an exhibition. Exhibitions are usually at least one month in length. The center provides and opening reception that is open to the public. The center also provides printed exhibition cards for the center's mailing list along with a supply for the use by the artist(s). The center requests a 30% commission for all sales of work within the exhibition. In June/July of each year, we review submissions and chooses exhibits for the coming season. If accepted, artists may be asked to exhibit in a group show or a solo exhibition at the discretion of the center. 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
- Artist Resume
- Artist Statement
- Supplemental materials welcome but not necessary
Deadline: June 1st.
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).
