APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 25 at 7:00 pm ET

FULL PROSPECTUS

To apply for a solo artist spotlight, visual artists must submit a concise portfolio of 3–5 imagesand a short artist statement & bio as a single PDF. Visual artists may, but not required to, submit a single page proposal document (a second PDF). Selected artists will work with the Gallery Director to finalize works for display.

The area provided for the weeklong solo artist spotlight exhibitions will be approximately 8-10 linear feet. The exact layout will be determined by the Gallery Director, in consultation with the selected artist’s requirements and needs. Some pedestals and the ability to suspend works can be provided.

There will be three rounds to submit solo artist visual arts spotlight applications, with deadlines on January 25, March 29, and August 24.

Artists may only submit one application per round. Artists not accepted or waitlisted in an earlier round may resubmit, but are encouraged to resubmit with updated artworks. Waitlisted artists will be given priority evaluation in the next round.
