Artspace Open Call for Exhibition Proposals

Artspace is a non-profit visual art center dedicated to presenting quality exhibitions and educational programs within an open-studio environment. The organization has been recognized for presenting award-winning exhibitions in three exhibition galleries that feature regional, national, and international artists.

Artspace is seeking innovative proposals from artists working in 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional media for solo and/or group shows. Exhibitions run for 6-8 weeks with an opening reception held during First Friday Gallery Walks. Most exhibits include a gallery talk or slide lecture presented by the artist. All exhibits are supported by press and insurance coverage and are free and open to the public. The galleries exhibit the work of both emerging and established artists.

Works may be for sale; however, Artspace does not place an emphasis on the sale of artwork but rather on the artistic quality of the work being presented. Artspace takes a 30% commission on works sold in the galleries. The application fee is $10. Applicants must submit 10 images of recent work (completed within the last two years) with detailed information including title, medium, dimensions, and date completed; a description of the proposed exhibition; a current resume; and an artist statement (maximum 5000 characters). Video applicants must also submit one CD/DVD with a maximum total playing time of 10 minutes containing a minimum of three segments completed within the last three years.
