ARTIST SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The Kirby Cultural Arts Complex accepts and welcomes exhibition proposals via email or mail. Submissions are reviewed by the Director. We cannot provide individual reviews or immediate responses regarding submitted work although your materials will be reviewed in a timely fashion. We do not adhere to a particular timeframe in which to review submissions but do our best to promptly review the materials and then respond. If an exhibition opportunity arises, a member of the staff will contact you for more information about your work. The gallery is a community space, therefore artists submitting proposals should be cognizant of community needs.
If your work is chosen for representation by our gallery you will be required to sign an “Artist Contract” which outlines roles and responsibilities of the artist as well as the gallery. The artist is responsible for the delivery, placement and removal of the work by the agreed upon dates in the contract. If the Artist’s Work is not physically removed from the Gallery within thirty (30) days immediately following the Removal Date, such work shall be considered abandoned by the Artist and shall as of such date become the exclusive property of the Person County Arts Council, Inc. unless arrangements have been made prior to the completion of the show. Artist(s) are required to make available for sale at least 50% of work shown in gallery.
It is also recommended that you include your CV or resume, website address, supporting materials (links to exhibition reviews, articles, blog features, etc.) and list of any current gallery representation for further review.
Materials sent will be kept by the Gallery for future review and will not be returned. Original artwork or slides will not be accepted and the KCAC is not responsible for the return or safe keeping of such materials, if submitted.
The Kirby Cultural Arts Complex is not responsible for lost or damaged submissions.
Please send online submissions to kirby.gallery@personcountync.gov with the subject line reading "Kirby Gallery".
