ArtSpace Maynard Call for Proposals for 2019-2020 Exhibition Season

ArtSpace Maynard invites artists in all media (except video) to submit proposals for one month solo or group exhibitions for the 2019-2020 season. Exhibitions are limited to New England artists. Proposals should present a coherent theme based on a unifying concept that is social, historical, philosophical, cultural, political or other. Selection criteria include quality of work, clarity and coherence of concept, and ability of artist/curator to complete the project.

The ArtSpace Gallery is 1,800 sq. ft. with 150 linear ft. of wall space, 16 ft. of built-in glass display cases, and can accommodate large group exhibits. Gallery floor plans are available at https://www.artspacemaynard.com/artspace-gallery-floor-map/. For group shows, one point person or curator must attend a gallery orientation session prior to the exhibition.

Selected artists/curators are responsible for developing and mailing postcards to their mailing lists, providing 1,000 postcards to ArtSpace, supplying artist statements and print-ready images for publicity, delivering and installing artwork, removing the exhibit, and preparing an opening reception with refreshments. Gallery sitting by artist or designee is required on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. ArtSpace provides listing in Art New England or Artscope, local and regional media coverage, press releases, and mailing/postage to the ArtSpace mailing list. The gallery receives a 30% commission on artwork sales and offers limited insurance for loaned work. Proposal deadline: May 17. Artist notification: June 17. Entry fee: $25.00. Submit 5-20 images with a statement of concept (2,000 character limit), resume/CV (1-2 pages per artist), and for group shows, an artist agreement confirming participation of all artists.
