Important things to know

• 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.
• New exhibitions open the first Saturday of even-numbered months and run for four weeks.
• Temporary exhibitions vary in scale. Two or three galleries are usually granted, from 85 to 136 linear feet; or if a small one-gallery exhibition is proposed, as few as 42 feet.
• The CAG will provide a 2-hour 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.
• Exhibiting artists/curators are responsible for delivery and pickup of art.
• A small honorarium is given to solo-exhibition artists traveling more than two hours to attend the opening ​reception to help defray travel expenses.
