Solo Exhibition Request for Proposal

The Deep Valley Arts Collective welcomes proposals from emerging, mid-career, and established artists interested in showcasing their artwork in a solo exhibition at MEDIUM Art Gallery in Ukiah. We accept exhibition proposals on a rolling basis and review submissions periodically throughout the year. We are currently considering a limited number of submissions for 2025 and later.

Through our exhibition program, we seek to support experimental, boundary-breaking work and artists who have demonstrated a dedicated commitment to their practice. The solo exhibition will run for one month and will include a “First Friday Art Walk” exhibition opening. There is no fee charged to the artist for the solo exhibition. However, we request a minimum commission donation of 20% from all artwork sales. 

Your submission should include:

Please include up to five work sample images and/or three videos representing your artistic career and the work in your proposal.

Please include information about the work, including the title, date, medium, dimensions, and a brief description of each piece submitted.

Please include your CV (curriculum vitae), a list of exhibitions, residencies, awards, and related projects, and your educational background. Please do not include employment history unless it is directly relevant to the proposed project.

Exhibition proposal, including the following:

  • General artist statement (250 words or less)

  • Description of the proposed work (500 words or less) that includes a concise explanation of the exhibition concept and how it will be presented in the gallery space.

If awarded an exhibition opportunity at MEDIUM Art Gallery, artists are responsible for delivering their artwork to the gallery and for the execution and installation of their artwork. The Deep Valley Arts Collective does not provide a budget for shipping, transportation, or specific production costs, so please consider this. Gallery staff can help with the installation of the artwork, printing placards, creating promotional materials, and social media marketing.
