CALL FOR SOLO, GROUP AND/OR CURATED SHOWS

ARC Gallery and Educational Foundation is a non-profit, woman-run cooperative gallery dedicated to providing alternative space exhibition opportunities for innovative artists outside the commercial gallery system. Since1973 ARC has given exposure and support to artists, providing an atmosphere for the continued development of artistic potential and experimentation. ARC Gallery’s Exhibitions Committee reviews all media including video, film, installation and performance, and accepts submissions electronically by emails sent to our email address: [email protected].
 
We prefer to see a body of related work that would be the basis of an exhibition at our gallery.

We encourage submissions and proposals for solo exhibitions, group shows and curated shows. ARC is run entirely by its women artist members; as a non-profit exhibition space. ARC receives some support from outside funding sources but not enough to cover our operating expenses. Thus, to provide the space and services we offer to exhibiting artists, we defray our expenses by charging exhibition fees. Our rate is $650.00 for approximately 60 running feet of wall space. Gallery A, the front space of the gallery with large windows opening out to Damen Avenue rents for $750.00 when not reserved by a member of the gallery.  See attached floor map or visit our website at www.arcgallery.org  It is also possible to divide our Gallery C in half and have 2 shows in that space each renting for $350.00.

Please include the following in your application for review:
1. 10-20 images in low resolution JPEGS (not to exceed 300 dpi), with each image clearly labeled within
the file name, and e-mailed to [email protected] A sheet should be included which describes the work being submitted (size, media etc.). Other print materials showing samples of work and CDs may be mailed to the gallery address below, but email submissions of all materials are preferred.
2. Résumé.
3. Artist Statement.
