Featured Artist Program

Several times throughout each year, the Gateway Art Gallery invites Featured Artists to showcase their work at the gallery, and promote their work through our various media channels (website, social media, etc.) Our Featured Artist program aims to bring attention to the Artist and their work, as well as create interest in the community. Past Featured Artists have exhibited a wide range of art media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, illustration, photography, sculpture, quilts, creative writing, music, paper and fabric arts, and a variety of mixed media. Each exhibit opens with a free reception on the First Friday of the month, introducing the artist’s work, which is displayed for a set amount of time (typically one month) and made available for purchase to collectors and art lovers. We also host meet-and-greet sessions with the artist, book signings for authors, workshops for teaching artists, lectures, and panel discussions with the artist when available. This program is a great way to bring new artists and their art to our community and to art collectors. Be sure to look at our events calendar and plan your First Fridays accordingly!

How to Qualify

Artists who meet the following criteria may qualify to be considered for our Featured Artist program:

— Are a working artist with an active following and verifiable sale or gallery exhibition history (awards and a history of continued art education are a plus)

— Live within reasonable driving distance of the Gallery for art drop-off/pick up and various promotional events related to their exhibit

— Are willing and able to promote the events on their own social channels and websites to encourage their collectors and fans to attend the exhibition and buy their work

— (optional) Able to teach a workshop for 10-12 students during their Exhibition

We have various other events at the Gallery throughout the year, so we can only host 4-5 Featured Artists each season. If you meet the criteria above and wish to be considered for this program, please get in touch.
