Next Up!

NEXT Gallery invites artists to submit work that speaks to the theme of what comes next—whether through a new process, experimental medium, new series, subject, or collaboration. This is a national juried exhibition open to artwork in all mediums.

The exhibition will be juried by Virginia T Coleman, a long-time NEXT member who explores metal's possibilities, and Terra Marks, NEXT Director, who explores the intersection of art and nature. Accepted work will be exhibited at NEXT Gallery from November 15–December 1, 2024. Artists may hand deliver work on November 11, 2024, or mail work to arrive by November 11, 2024. Mailed work must include pre-paid return shipping and must not exceed 38" in any dimension. Results will be emailed the week of October 27, 2024.

Entry fee is $35 for up to 4 art pieces. All artwork must be original, completed, professional quality, and ready to hang. Maximum size is 5' × 5' for 2D works and 5' × 3' × 3' for sculptures (dimensions include framing and mounting). No installations or artwork requiring intensive assembly or special technical installation will be accepted. Artwork must be for sale; accepted works incur a 30% commission. Unsold artwork must be picked up by December 1, 2024. Submissions must be made online through callforentry.org only.
