Call for Submissions
Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery
Coker College
Hartsville, SC
2016/2017 Exhibition Season



Coker College uses the Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery to broaden exposure to artists with regional, national, and international reputations. The Gallery is also the primary venue for faculty shows, senior shows, student competitions, and student summer shows. Works exhibited in our gallery are for sale; however, we do not focus on sales and sales are not common. Coker's exhibition review committee selects thought provoking art that challenges and inspires. With this in mind, our review committee looks for innovative works of art by artists who desire exposure in an academic setting.

Next Review Deadline: Postmarked no later than October 24, 2015 for the 2016/2017 exhibition season.

Exhibition & Residency Opportunities
Redux
Charleston, SC
2012/2013


Redux is the premier contemporary art venue in South Carolina offering opportunities for emerging and established artists to exhibit in historic downtown Charleston, SC. Exhibitions are not limited to any media, and all applicants will be considered for solo, group, and two person exhibitions and residencies in 2012.

Redux currently presents six to eight exhibitions each year, featuring work by internationally renowned and local, emerging and mid-career artists. We shoot for diversity in style, media and subject matter when planning our season.

Thanks to the generosity of the Andy Warhol Foundation, this year, three artists will be awarded an honorarium up to $2,000. This honorarium is to help artists offset installation and travel costs. Additionally, Redux will publish an exhibition catalog.

A few FAQs: (Read complete FAQs here: reduxstudios.org/exhibitions-faq

All applicants will be considered for solo, group, two person exhibitions and residencies in 2012 and 2013.

Exhibitions at Redux vary in length from 5 weeks to 8 weeks in duration.

Redux selects a panel of 3-5 artists, curators, art critics and writers to review the applications.

The call for entries is open to national and international artists. Artists should note that they are responsible for all installation costs associated with the mounting of their exhibition: shipment of their artwork to and from the Redux facility, travel costs, and accommodations. The honorarium is to help artists offset installation and travel costs.

The jurors are given strict instructions to consider all of the work that has been submitted, regardless of any personal preferences that they may have. Our goal is to attract accomplished emerging, mid-career and established artists and to provide these artists with the opportunity to create work freely with total control of their project(s), while engaging our community.

To apply for an exhibition for the 2012/2013 calendar, you must submit the following in our slideroom. Artists will be notified of results by mail on or before December 3rd 2011.
