GALLERY APPLICATION FAQ:

​​​

• What type of exhibition applications do you accept? We accept applications for solo, two- and three-person, and small-curated group shows. 

​

• How do I submit Group Exhibitions?  You will complete one payment and application.  In the application: each artist should include their individual artist statement, but the group should submit one unified proposal.  The artwork images should be divided between the group: the total number of artwork images is 6-12 TOTAL. 

​

• Are there geographic limitations? We require that artists deliver, 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. 

 

• Can I call you for technical support?  Please find a local resource like a library to assist you with the technical aspect of combining docs into a PDF and uploading them.  We are limited in what we can do over the phone. 

 

• When will I hear back? No earlier than May. We receive a high volume of submissions. To fairly consider all works, we host several rounds of judging.  This takes around 2-3 months.  

​

​SUBMISSION MATERIALS: Please combine your resume, artist statement, artist proposal, images, and an image list with prices and sizes into a multi-page PDF file for our Gallery Committee to review. Please label your artwork with (Title, medium, and dimensions) and only place one image per page. Minimum of 6 images and a maximum of 12 images. 

Application is open to US residents 18 years old and older only. Artists are responsible for the cost of transporting artwork selected for exhibition and must be present at the opening reception. Application Fee: $30
