The Rotating History Project is taking proposals for a forthcoming exhibition entitled “River of Change: An Exploration of the James River through Art.” The exhibited is planned to open in January of 2017, at the Jamestown Settlement Museum, located in Williamsburg, Virginia. Sitting adjacent to the James River—the site of the country’s first permanent English settlement—the Jamestown Settlement Museum’s mission is to foster an awareness and understanding of the early history, settlement, and development of the United States through the convergence of American Indian, European, and African cultures.

◦Africans and African Americans in relationship to the James River (from the earliest inhabitants to modern day)
◦Slavery/Servitude/Class on the River
◦Wildlife of the tributary, including flora and fauna
◦Trade, labor and commerce as it relates to the River and its people through history and up through today.
◦Environmental issues through the centuries/Development and preservation efforts

A predetermined stipend to help offset costs of materials and travel will be provided. All mediums are welcomed, including 2D and 3D, film, music, installation, performances, lectures and all other forms of writing/dialogue, such as oral histories.

This exhibition is part of a larger group of happenings curated by the Rotating History Project. Through various artistic mediums, the Rotating History Project aims to draw attention to the threads running through our history, culture and environment.

Proposals should be sent via email and include the following:
◦A Word doc or PDF including a description of the intended project in 500 words or less.

Solo, Group and Concept Submissions Manifest Gallery

Deadline: June 1, 2015 {ONLINE}



EXHIBIT PROPOSALS
Solo, Group and Concept Submissions
Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center
Cincinnati, OH
Season 12: September 2015 - August 2016



One-third of Manifest's exhibits are dedicated to solo exhibits. Solo exhibitors have included local, regional, and national artists from as far away as New York City, San Francisco, and Hong Kong. It is important to our non-profit operations that each of our seasons of free public exhibits consist of a balanced mix of solo and group thematic projects. The group shows provide diversity of approach, media, style, and geographic origin, while the solo exhibits provide a deeper insight into one artist's vision.


Types of proposals:

- Solo exhibits

- Two person exhibits (while this is acceptable, it is strongly recommended that artists wishing to propose a two-person exhibit submit individual solo proposals, and request consideration of the two-person show as a curatorial option.)*

- Group shows

- Curatorial project (call for entries proposal by curator)

*NOTE that our curatorial process also considers the possible combination of solo proposals into small selective group shows when possible, and agreeable to the artists.


Eligibility: Anyone can submit a proposal. Artists should bear in mind the need for a consistent and very strong body of work when submitting.

Media/Genre, etc: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Manifest sets out to survey, locate, exhibit, and document excellent quality amongst all types of art. Our record of showing a broad mix speaks for itself.

Jury and Curator: Manifest's main selection process involves a complex two-part system. Most exhibits are juried by an anonymous 9-12 member panel of professional and academic advisers with a broad range of expertise. The jury then passes along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool. Solo proposals are handled in a similar way. While artists may provide a specific goal for an exhibit, the final selection and layout of works will be determined by a Manifest curator in consultation with the artist.

The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission’s Community Gallery promotes, sells and exhibits the work of New Mexico artists and artisans, with the emphasis on Santa Fe, through exhibitions, professional training and community involvement in the arts. Gallery programming provides a range of services, exhibitions and activities that engage the public as well as support the efforts of local artists/artisans.

The Community Gallery features themed exhibitions that run for two to three month intervals and display the full breadth and depth of the art produced by local artists and artisans in Santa Fe and New Mexico. Themed exhibitions ensure that both contemporary and traditional work in all media are shown, creating more varied, interesting and vital exhibits.

In order for an artist to be considered for participation in exhibitions, the Gallery must have a portfolio of that artist’s work in the artist archive.

Possible participants will be selected from the archive based on the quality of their work, their contribution to the full breadth of the exhibit media, and the appropriateness of their work to the theme (if applicable). After receiving a portfolio, that portfolio will remain in the Community Gallery’s files for future consideration in any upcoming shows. There is no need to re-apply.

A goal of the gallery is to offer the broadest inclusion for all artists and involve a large portion of the local population by offering more than the display of artwork. Exhibitions feature programs and events that invite a varied and diverse audience.

Hyde Park Art Center Call for Proposals

Deadline: {ONGOING/UNSPECIFIED}


Call for Proposals
Hyde Park Art Center
Chicago, IL
2017-18 Exhibition Season



Hyde Park Art Center’s exhibitions program is an incubator for artists looking to push the boundaries of their practice and whose work makes meaningful contributions to today’s social and political discourse. By enabling underrepresented artists to take risks and be entrepreneurial in their work, and giving them the broad exposure they deserve, the Art Center ensures that groundbreaking contemporary art gets made—and seen—in Chicago.

The Art Center welcomes submissions of artists’ work and curatorial proposals for group exhibitions on a rolling basis. Submissions are reviewed by the Exhibitions Committee, which consists of artists and art professionals, as well as the Art Center’s Director of Exhibitions and Executive Director. The Art Center plans its exhibitions program three seasons in advance.

To be considered for the 2017-18 exhibition season, please review the guidelines in the PDF below, and send proposals to the attention of the Director of Exhibitions. Due to a high volume of submissions and limited staff, please allow 12-16 weeks to receive a response regarding exhibition possibilities. There is no deadline for proposals.

Hunterdon Art Museum Program for Independent Curators

Deadline: ONGOING/UNSPECIFIED {RECEIVE} or {EMAIL}



HAM Program for Independent Curators
Hunterdon Art Museum
Clinton, New Jersey



The Hunterdon Art Museum focuses on new and innovative work in all forms and mediums with the goal of creating dialogue, generating ideas and sparking creativity. HAM has a particular interest in work that explores the intersection of art, craft and design and work that displays the qualities of craftsmanship while pushing the limits of the materials in innovative ways.

The Museum seeks proposals that focus on innovative work by artists of outstanding potential and established artists who have international, national or regional reputations. Proposals may be for thematic or solo shows. Curators should have a track record of creating exhibitions in the fields of contemporary art, craft, and design; however, the Museum will also accept for review proposals from emerging curators developing their careers. Curators may not include their own work in the proposed exhibition. Additionally, the exhibition should not have been on view within 50 miles of the Museum’s location.

The HAM Program for Independent Curators is a dynamic project that opens the way for an array of ideas and viewpoints on contemporary art, craft, and design to be presented in the Hunterdon Art Museum’s exhibitions program.

Ideally, proposals should be submitted one to two years in advance of the proposed exhibition; however, shorter lead times will be considered and in some cases desired. Please do not send original art or documents, as materials will not be returned. The Museum will contact curators of interest for an in-person discussion with the Museum’s Exhibitions Committee to determine whether the proposal is feasible.
