2022-2023 Cultural Council Solo Gallery Exhibition

The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County invites local visual artists to apply for solo gallery exhibitions. The purpose of the Solo Gallery is to provide Palm Beach County-based emerging or professional visual artists with an opportunity for a solo exhibition, typically featuring a full series of their work or a sampling representative of their career evolution. The 2022-2023 schedule will include six solo shows that run for six weeks each.

Artists must submit an artist statement, brief bio, and up to seven images of individual artworks. Artwork may be any medium including photography, video, work on paper, sculptural installations, crafts, and textiles. Files must be jpg or pdf, not larger than 10 MB per file. Include all artwork information (Title, Date, Dimensions, Medium, Edition, Insurance Value). The artist must be the sole author and owner of the title and copyright of all artwork entered. Artists should list their top three choices for show dates in the application. Submissions are accepted only through the online platform CaFE.

Selected artists receive services valued at $3,500, including a dedicated Director of Artist Services to assist with artwork selection, installation/de-installation, and logistics; an announcement postcard (300 printed, up to 200 available for artist distribution); an opening reception for up to 50 guests; inclusion on the Council's website, e-newsletter, artist newsletter, and press announcements; exhibition signage including wall vinyl, artist bio, A-frame sign, and lobby TV monitor graphic; and opportunity to be featured in the Council's social media program. The Council retains 25% of all art sales to support artist services staff and building maintenance. All artwork will be insured on premises if a list of artwork titles, descriptions, and values is presented prior to delivery. Artwork is not insured in transit. Selected participants must deliver and pick up their artwork on designated dates and cannot have concurrent solo exhibitions within Palm Beach County. Eligibility: Artists must live in Palm Beach County, Florida.
