We exhibit work we feel strongly about, regardless of your education or exhibition history, but you must include this information. If we select your work we will want this information right away for promotional purposes.

Curatorial Proposals:
In addition to the material above please include a list of artists you are considering even if you have not confirmed with those artists, as well as sample images of their work. This will help us understand your ideas and motivations.
What will you provide that is necessary for the exhibit? What will you ask the gallery to provide? How much space in square footage will your exhibit need? When do you want the exhibit to be?
Site Specific Submission\Proposals:
In addition to the material listed above also include the following information.

Whenever possible you should visit the gallery before sending you proposal.

We encourage you to think big, consider the outside of the building, and allow yourself creative reaction to the physical structure.
