Call for Entries: City of Reno Galleries

The City of Reno is accepting proposals from artists and curators interested in exhibiting in three city galleries: Gallery East and West (located in the McKinley Arts and Culture Center at 925 Riverside Drive, Reno, NV 89503) and Metro Gallery (in the lobby of City Hall at 1 East First Street, Reno, NV 89501).

Exhibitions are seven weeks in duration. All media will be considered for display; however, two-dimensional work is best suited to the venues, although three-dimensional work may be considered if space allows. The City of Reno strives to promote cultural heritage and artistic development to enhance the city's character and identity. The three city galleries serve as public spaces to expand the experience and education of citizens through the visual arts, supporting the growth of local artists and bringing in regional artists to foster Reno's development as an Arts & Culture destination.

Proposals must include 5-10 images and up to 6 videos. The appropriateness and quality of proposals will be determined by a review panel, whose recommendations are provided to the Public Art Committee and Reno Arts and Culture Commission for final approval. Selected exhibitions will be promoted by postcard and online. Notification of results can be expected in March 2017.
