Posted by: Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts
Deadline: Sun, July 14th, 2024

 This is an open call for solo or two-person exhibition proposals for the Jerry Drown Gallery in the newly dedicated John Jordan Wood Center at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, TN. The Jerry Drown Gallery is a foyer gallery located within the main entrance of the John Jordan Wood Center. The gallery is about 375 square feet and includes two locked glass cases, one measuring 11’ x 3.5’ and the other 7.5’ x 9”. Preference will be given to artists whose primary media is wood. Submission can be contemporary, rooted in traditional craft practices, or both. Curatorial project proposals are also welcome. Please indicate in your exhibition proposal if the images submitted are the exact works you’re prepared to exhibit; works in progress; or examples of past work and include a description of what the new work will look like. Please submit a PDF portfolio of images that include: Title, Media, Year Created, and Dimensions in the description along with each image in a PDF file. Additionally, please let us know whether you’d like to be considered for a curated two-person exhibit and indicate if the work is for sale. Arrowmont retains 40% of the sale price so please price work accordingly. We will begin scheduling exhibitions for late this year, continuing into 2025. The duration of each exhibition is generally about two to three months. Shipping fees to the gallery are the artist’s responsibility and Arrowmont will cover return shipping. Installation and promotion are provided by Arrowmont. All entries must be submitted to SlideRoom. The entry fee is $25 for a PDF Portfolio that represents the type of work to be considered. Please include the title, date, dimensions, and media for each example on each slide. Submission review begins July 15, 2024 and notifications will be sent by August 5, 2024. Questions? Please email Heather F. Wetzel, Galleries & Collections Manager at hwetzel@arrowmont.org. Apply at https://arrowmont.slideroom.com/#/permalink/program/77964
