Gem Gallery - Call For Exhibition Proposals 2019

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Gem Center for the Arts
Deadline: Sun, September 30th, 2018

The Gem Gallery is a flexible exhibition space for the exploration of unique media and multi-disciplinary practices. The Gem Gallery gives priority to emerging artists and curators who may have been historically overlooked by traditional gallery spaces, and to work that demonstrates or establishes quality in both conceptualization and technique. The Gem Gallery serves as the building’s epicenter during community events and happenings, and in this role, facilitates visitors’ interactions with contemporary ideas of art practice.

 

Each year, there are two opportunities to submit an exhibition proposal to show your work at the Gem Center for the Arts. Applications are reviewed by the Gem Center for the Arts Exhibition Panel, which consists of independent art professionals working in the field.

 

The proposal round for exhibitions in 2019 closes on 30 September 2018.
