2021 & 2022 Exhibits Schedule

Maude Kerns Art Center is accepting submissions for its 2021 & 2022 Exhibits Schedule. Local, regional, and national artists (individuals and groups) working in 2- and 3-dimensional mediums, as well as installation art, are invited to submit their work for consideration. Solo, group, and/or themed shows will be curated based on the content, quality, and number of submissions. Established, mid-career, and emerging artists are encouraged to apply.

The Maude Kerns Art Center, founded in 1950, is a non-profit community art center in Eugene, Oregon, dedicated to providing exhibitions and educational programs for all ages, facilities for artists, public events, and support for community artists. The Art Center presents 8–10 exhibitions each year, including solo and group shows featuring local, regional, and national artists. The Art Center has two main gallery areas with high ceilings, a raised stage area, a Members Gallery Gift Shop, over 500 registered members, a ceramics studio, darkroom, print studio, and multiple classrooms for ongoing arts education.

Submissions must include a minimum of 10 images and up to a maximum of 20 images total. One audio or video file may be submitted in place of an image. The submission fee is $30 for individual or group submissions. Groups can be two or more artists and must provide an artist resume for each artist, a statement describing the overall theme or concept of the exhibit, and artists' statements. One artist must be designated the coordinator. Jurors will be accomplished artists and art professionals who will select artists based on quality and technical excellence. Shipping fees to and from the Art Center are the responsibility of the artist. All artwork must be prepared to hang or be installed in a professional manner. The Art Center will be paid a 35% commission on all art and merchandise sold in connection with the exhibit (including facilitation of sales within three months after the exhibit period), and artists retain 65% of sales prices.
