Sinclair Community College call for Portfolios

Description

The Art Department of Sinclair Community College is seeking exhibition proposals.

Eligibility
Artists residing within the United States who have a professional body of work. Multi-artist or group shows will be considered.

Mission
The Sinclair Community College Art Galleries promote the development of professional and student artists and serve as an educational resource for the entire community. The mission of the gallery program is to advocate and encourage the practice and appreciation of the various forms, media, and artistic expressions open to the contemporary artist and viewer. Criteria for acceptance include embodiment of formal artistic concepts, innovative approaches, and professional presentation. The Art Department aims to present to students and the community as many styles and concepts as possible including but not limited to the students' study of ceramics, collage, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

Gallery Spaces
Sinclair has two separate, professionally designed galleries.

-The Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery is designed for the exhibition of all media, including electronic and installation work.
-The Works on Paper Gallery is a glass enclosed case 7’ tall x 37’ wide x 14” deep. Works on exhibit should be matted but need not be framed.
-Gallery information may be found on our Galleries Detail Website Page.

Exhibition Details

All reasonable steps will be taken in the care and handling of work. However, artists exhibit “at their own risk.” Neither the Sinclair Community College Art Department, nor the Art Galleries will be liable for any losses, costs, or damage that may occur.
