​The Crary Art Gallery accepts artist proposals year round, which are typically reviewed late summer. This year, in light of the pandemic challenges we're all working to recover from, we've decided to extend the deadline.
Thank you to the artists who have submitted proposals already and, to those who wished for a little more time, proposals can be submitted until November 15, 2021. Artists will be contacted for our 2023 calendar by January 31, 2022.  Questions? Contact us.

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.
