• Please change the file name of each jpeg to indicate your name, followed by the number (two digits, please!) corresponding to your image list info. Example: Koons-01.jpg

Important things to know

• Image list should include your name at the top. The list should include image numbers; titles of artworks; dimensions (HxW or HxWxD if 3D); medium; and any other short notes you think important for viewers to know (such as "detail view"). 
• As a non-profit gallery, proposals are selected based on artistic merit and the physical constraints of the gallery, not salability.
• The Exhibitions Committee considers solo shows, group or tandem shows, and curated exhibitions.
• Exhibiting artists/curators are responsible for deliver and pickup of art. 
• A small honorarium is given to solo-exhibtion artists traveling two hours or more to attend the opening reception to help defray travel expenses. 
• New exhibitions open the first Saturday of even-numbered months and run for four weeks.
• Temporary exhibitions vary in scale. Solo exhibitions are usually displayed in two and sometimes three galleries, and can run from 85 to 136 linear feet. If a small one-gallery exhibition is proposed, as few as 42 feet.
• The CAG will provide an opening reception with light hors d'oeuvres and beverages, publicity via local and social media, the design and printing of postcards and posters.
• A proctor is always present to greet visitors. The galleries are secured with cameras and motion alarms, and displayed works are insured.
