Arts on Douglas, a division of the Atlantic Center for the Arts is now accepting alt_space exhibition proposals for our 2021-2022 exhibition period.
Located within Arts on Douglas, the alt_space gallery is an exhibition space dedicated to Florida artists working in a variety of artistic genres that may include conceptual art, site-specific installation, new media, digital media, video, sculpture, or other experimental practices and alternative processes.

Each alt_space exhibition is installed for a 6 week display period. A total of 6 different exhibitions are presented in the alt_space each year.
Eligibility: Florida artists age 18 or older may apply. Individual and group exhibition proposals will be considered. Applying artists must not have current gallery representation in Volusia County.*
