2015 Annual Artist Review

Bloomington Theatre and Art Center (BTAC) invites emerging and established artists and artist groups residing in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin who are 18 years or older to submit proposals for the 2017 exhibition program. BTAC presents approximately eight exhibitions annually in each the Inez Greenberg Gallery and the Atrium Gallery, showcasing artwork executed in a variety of media and styles.

All proposals must be received by March 31, 2015, and a $10 non-refundable application fee is required. Proposals will be reviewed by a jury panel who will select artists and artist groups based on quality of artwork, creativity and originality, technical skills, and overall exhibition proposal. Artists may be combined for a small group show or chosen for a solo exhibition. Applicants will be notified by May 29, 2015, of the jury panel's decision.

Proposals must include: an artist statement or proposal description of 1000 characters or less; 10 digital artwork samples saved as standard JPEGS (1920 pixels on the longest side, 72 ppi/dpi resolution, 3 MB maximum file size); information about each work sample including title, medium, size, and date of completion; and an optional resume or biographical summary (two-page maximum). Group proposals require a description of the group or arts organization in addition to the proposal description. Artists do not need to be BTAC members to propose or exhibit. Artists currently enrolled in an undergraduate level art program are ineligible, as are artists who have exhibited in a solo or small group exhibition at BTAC in the past two years.
