Curfman Gallery 2023-24 Season Exhibition Call

The Lory Student Center Arts Program at Colorado State University is seeking entries for the 2023-24 Curfman Gallery exhibition season. Located in the heart of the Colorado State University campus, the Curfman Gallery receives over 20,000 visitors a day and provides a showcase for nationally and internationally recognized artists, as well as local and student artists. For more than four decades, the Student Center's diverse exhibits of varying media have offered patrons the opportunity to interact with engaging works of art, stimulating cultures, and the history of CSU.

The LSC Arts Program seeks to bring the visual arts to all students at CSU and create an environment that welcomes emerging and nationally-renowned contemporary artists. For the 2023-24 exhibition season, the program is seeking thought-provoking work firmly rooted in contemporary practice. Work exploring issues of identity, community, current social phenomena, new material investigations, or traditional media in new contexts may receive special consideration.

Applicants should submit 10-15 images and up to 3 videos. The entry fee is $25. The program seeks solo exhibitions or curated 2-3 person shows; applicants may enter as a group. All media and all sizes are accepted. All work must be ready to install; installation work will be considered if the artist will travel to install. The LSC Arts Program will provide up to $300 in reimbursements for delivery of artworks to Colorado State University. CSU will pay for return shipping and provide insurance for the return of artworks. Artists interested in visiting campus to discuss their work should include a proposal for what they would like to present, such as a workshop or artist talk. The LSC Arts Program does not broker sales; in the event of a sale, the interested party will be put directly in contact with the artist, who will retain 100% of the sale price.
