Solo Exhibition Opportunity in The d'Art Center Vault During Persistence V

****CALL CANCELLED**** We apologize for the cancellation and will be refunding those who applied.

Exhibit your work in a unique 132 square foot exhibition space—a historical bank vault within The d'Art Center in the heart of Norfolk's NEON Arts District. The Vault showcases a solo show of one selected artist during the duration of the Main Gallery Exhibition. All styles and aesthetics are considered, and the space is open to functional, non-functional, 2D, 3D, fine art, and fine craft in all mediums. The Vault can fit between 12-15 pieces depending on work sizes. Proposed solo shows do not have to fit the theme of the Main Gallery exhibition, however artists are encouraged to propose a solo show based around the Main Gallery Exhibition theme.

This Vault opportunity runs concurrent with Persistence V: d'Art's Last Annual Juried National All Women's Exhibition (March 18 - April 11, 2023). Persistence V is only open to female artists living in the United States. The artist is selected through an open call and jury process that includes d'Art Center staff, professional artists, and gallery manager Amanda Bradley. Exhibition dates: Saturday, March 18, 2023 - Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Main Gallery Reception: Friday, March 24, 2023, 5:30-7:30pm. Notifications by email by 5pm, Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
