FOR INTERESTED ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS: After reviewing our site and social media sites, if you strongly believe your work will contribute to the mission of the gallery, then we invite you to submit 4-6 images, resume/CV and a statement about you and your work via regular snail mail (yes, this means printing out images, placing in an envelope, and mailing with proper postage). You may also send us up to three follow up emails, but please don't be a pest. We review work once per year in March, and offer only one Solo Exhibition and one group show per year. Visiting Artists are invited on Sundays, mid-June through mid-October. Thank you for your interest.
