Solo Shows at Locust Grove, 2023-2024

Locust Grove Estate in Poughkeepsie, NY is announcing four solo show opportunities for 2023-2024. Each 10-12 week show presents artists with the opportunity to exhibit 20-30 artworks in the Transverse Gallery at Locust Grove, a National Historic Landmark museum, education center, and nature preserve which attracts over 90,000 visitors annually.

Solo shows are available for 2-D artwork. Accepted artwork must be properly mounted, framed and ready to hang from a track-type hanging system. Artwork may be either for sale or for exhibition only. The recommended number of works for display is 20-30 pieces, depending on size. Artists are encouraged to develop new works for this opportunity; submitted images do not necessarily have to be among the works exhibited. Please note the galleries are frequented by visitors of all ages, including school groups, and artists' discretion is requested for works appropriate for a wide range of age groups.

Locust Grove will oversee marketing of the exhibition through press releases and announcements to mailing lists, and will assist the artist with on-site signage. The artist is responsible for any additional promotion. For artwork sold, the artist receives 75% and the commission is 25%. Application deadline is October 31, 2022. Entry fee is $40. Applicants must be aged 18+. Submit 10 images and a one-page artist statement.
