Proposals for the 2027 Gallery Exhibition season are due January 15, 2026. We accept applications for solo, two- and three-person, and small-curated group shows.

​​

Application is open to US residents 18 years and older who have a studio space within a 90-minute radius of Garrison, NY. Artists are responsible for the cost of transporting artwork selected for exhibition and must be present at the opening reception.

 

Application Fee: $30
 

Please contact gallery@garrisonartcenter.org with non-technical questions or concerns you may have.

​

FAQ:

 

• Can I call you for technical support?  No, please contact CaFÉ.  We cannot see the technical side of the application, only the final submission. 

 

• How do I submit Group Exhibitions?  You will complete one payment and application.  In the application, each artist should include their individual CVs, but the group should submit one unified proposal.  The artwork images should be divided between the group. 

​

• Are there geographic limitations? We require that artists deliver and pick up their artwork and attend opening receptions.  We also encourage artists to give artist talks and invite guests to the reception, and it helps if they have a local following. Before exhibitions, we curate the work from your studio.  This can occur over Zoom, but it can also be challenging, and our gallery coordinator and committee members prefer in-person visits. In-person studio visits are geographically limited to within a  90-minute drive time from GAC. Please consider all of these factors when applying. 

 

• How is the gallery space utilized?  We pair solo and group exhibitions so that both galleries are filled during a show, each proposal either getting a show in our large (625 sq. ft.) or small (360 sq. ft.) gallery.  Our Visiting Artist gets both exhibition spaces.  Floor plans of the space are available in the application form.

 

• When will I hear back? No earlier than May 2026. We receive a high volume of submissions. To fairly consider all works, we host several rounds of judging.
