Abington Art Center Exhibition Proposals
Deadline: September 15, 2008 (RECEIVE) & (Hand Delivery)
Exhibition Proposals
Abington Art Center
Abington Art Center invites professional artists to submit proposals for consideration to participate in our Gallery, Sculpture Park and community venues.
Each season the exhibition program consists of several exhibitions in our galleries featuring national and regional artists, and the installation of large scale sculptures in our outdoor sculpture park. For both indoor and outdoor exhibitions, the Center provides artists with professionally produced documentation, invitations, and promotional materials. Related educational programs such as lectures, public forums and workshops are designed to stimulate and involve audiences in the experience.
The focus, criteria and eligibility for each venue is different, so please read carefully before completing the application.
Kellner Gallery Program
AAC’s main gallery exhibitions are organized by our curatorial staff and are planned well in advance. The theme or media content of shows evolve through the review process. Exhibitions run for 7-8 weeks.
Community Gallery Solo Series
The Solo Series offers individual regional artists the opportunity to show a body of work for one month.
Sculpture Park
Abington Art Center supports the creation and promotion of outdoor works by regional and national artists. In 2005, AAC initiated a new program for its 27 acre Sculpture Park which includes an annual exhibition titled “Inside/Outside” (May to November) coordinated with an indoor gallery exhibition and a biannual “Woodland Residency” project on our grounds. Depending on funding and the scope of the project, an honorarium and installation support is available to aid the efforts of the artist. This amount will vary from project to project. Outdoor works must be suitable for a public setting. Artists are encouraged to submit proposals that recognize the natural attributes of AAC’s elegant estate grounds. Works with an ecological emphasis are of primary interest, both temporary/ephemeral and more permanent. Proposals for relocating previously created work will also be considered.
Works may remain on view from six months and up to two years and must be dismantled by the artist.
Artist in Residence Projects
AAC has several opportunities to collaborate with area institutions and schools on placing artists in their communities. If interested, enclose a statement outlining a proposed line of inquiry.

Floor plan (PDF): salinaartcenter.org/flrplan.pdf
The Salina Art Center was founded in 1978 by artists, educators and community members who envisioned a gallery and education center in north-central Kansas.

Funded entirely by gifts and memberships from individuals, businesses and foundations, and competitive local, state, and federal grants, the Salina Art Center invites your participation as it enters its 25th year.
The Salina Art Center is located in the heart of downtown Salina, at 242 S. Santa Fe. This facility houses three flexible and attractive exhibition gallery spaces, a large multi-purpose area and classroom, and a dedicated hands-on arts laboratory area. Administrative and exhibition offices are also found here.
The Art Center Cinema, 150 S. Santa Fe, just a block away from the gallery and education building, opened in 1997. The Cinema features a 90-seat theatre, state-of-the-art equipment, including Dolby surround sound, and a snack bar.

Floor plan (PDF): salinaartcenter.org/flrplan.pdf
The Salina Art Center was founded in 1978 by artists, educators and community members who envisioned a gallery and education center in north-central Kansas. Housed originally on the Kansas Wesleyan University campus, it has grown from a spring and summer, volunteer-based organization to the existing year-round, nationally recognized exhibition, art education, and film facilities. Funded entirely by gifts and memberships from individuals, businesses and foundations, and competitive local, state, and federal grants, the Salina Art Center invites your participation as it enters its 25th year.
The Salina Art Center is located in the heart of downtown Salina, at 242 S. Santa Fe. This facility houses three flexible and attractive exhibition gallery spaces, a large multi-purpose area and classroom, and a dedicated hands-on arts laboratory area. Administrative and exhibition offices are also found here.
The Art Center Cinema, 150 S. Santa Fe, just a block away from the gallery and education building, opened in 1997. The Cinema features a 90-seat theatre, state-of-the-art equipment, including Dolby surround sound, and a snack bar.

Bluebottle Art Gallery
Deadline: Ongoing/Unspecified & (Online)
Bluebottle Art Gallery
Seattle, WA
Bluebottle Art Gallery and Store is an art gallery and boutique located in the Capitol Hill district of Seattle, Washington. We exhibit and sell artwork and handmade functional works from local and national up-and-coming artists, designers and crafters. Our boutique section features items created in the do-it-yourself (DIY) style which are often one-of-a-kind pieces, or produced as limited edition runs. We showcase work that is innovative and well-crafted.
Our goal is to support a network of artists and provide an opportunity for customers to purchase pieces that are unique and exclusive! We feature paintings, prints, plushies, t-shirts, magnets, journals, cards, calendars, wallets, jewelry, bags, and anything else created by crafty artists.
We are always looking for brave new work!
We showcase all our work on a 50% consignment basis. We respond to every submission within 1–2 weeks.
Salon-Style Section
In this section of our store we include just about anything we think is innovative and well-crafted. We feature paintings, prints, plushies, t-shirts, magnets, journals, cards, calendars, wallets, jewelry, drink coasters, pins, bags, and anything else created by crafty artists.
We are limiting the amount of photography and collage we showcase. You are welcome to submit although we do like to note we rarely accept these mediums.
For “wall” artwork we typically showcase 5 to 10 pieces per artist. For more functional artwork, we can showcase a full line of work depending on our current space availability. We showcase “wall” artwork for about four months — at this point we rotate in new work. As pieces sell, you are welcome to replace them with new works.
We like to let prospective artists know our market. We showcase affordable work and have found this to be our niche. The work we sell most often retails under $300 and is generally about 12" x 12". We are mainly selling to a market that is just starting to collect work, however, we are still happy to exhibit larger and more expensive pieces. Functional works must be well crafted, and interesting packaging always helps!
To submit to our salon section, please include:
1. Your name and contact information
2. Description of items
3. Estimated retail value
We are able to review in person, online or by mail.
In person
Stop by or call the store. We should be able to review work when not busy with customers.
Online
Please send jpegs or your URL to info@bluebottleart.com. Please keep files small.
By mail
Send slides or photographs to our mailing address. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you would like your materials returned. Please do not send originals.
Gallery Section
The gallery typically features solo shows. We also accept submissions by curators for group shows. Gallery exhibitions change on a monthly basis. We do ongoing reviews and keep a file of prospective future shows.
Shows are currently booked through October 2009. We will begin reviewing again for gallery shows in January 2009.
To submit to our gallery section, please include:
1. Your name and contact information
2. Samples of your work. The work we review must be very close in nature to the work we will showcase. We understand work that would be in the show may not be completed, but we must have a very clear idea of the style, consistency and quality of the work in order to book a show.
3. Price range of work. We most often book shows that feature a wide price range. Please remember, we specialize in affordable pieces.
4. A write-up of the concept of the show. We prefer to see a cohesive body of work or a theme that pulls the show together.
We are able to review online or by mail.
