Retro Tomorrow

Robert A. Peck Gallery is accepting applications for steampunk-themed artwork. Steampunk is a design style inspired by Victorian-era industrialism, characterized by gears, pipes, machinery, Victorian clothing, mechanical creatures, chains, and other images from the industrial era. Most media are accepted; however, the jury will not accept videos, films, or AI-generated images. Artwork should be created within the last 3 years. There is no application fee, and the gallery takes no commission on artwork sales.

Artists may submit 1-8 JPEG images for jurying (72 dpi @ 8" x 10"). A one-page artist statement or process/technique statement is required, with contact information included so potential patrons can reach you. The exhibition runs January 18 - February 13, 2025, with jury selection taking place January 3-5, 2025. Award money of $500 will be given. Jurors are Nita Kehoe, Professor of Art and Gallery Director at Central Wyoming College, and Joy Jones, owner and artist at The Clay Works.

Framed artwork should use eye hooks with wire and plexiglass or glass; picture frames with back stands are not accepted. Images printed on metal or other materials must be ready to hang. RAP Gallery staff will handle setup and takedown. Artwork must remain on display for the entire exhibition. Sales of artwork occur directly between artist and patron; the gallery will facilitate contact if patrons express interest in purchasing. The gallery is a 6,000 square foot space located at Central Wyoming College in Riverton, Wyoming.
