submissions

We feature new and experimental art production in all media and welcome submissions from local, regional, national, and international artists for recent or proposed new work, as well as curatorial proposals from artists, curators, and collectives. We pay artists based on CARFAC fee standards.

Artists may be approved for a solo exhibition, invited to participate in a two-person or group exhibition, or asked to consider re-submitting works shown but not proposed. Off-site exhibition areas (indoor or outdoor) may be arranged for mounting special projects, performances, and site-specific works.

Artcite’s programming decisions are made by a Programming Committee, which is comprised of community organizers and artists in the region who are invited and compensated in accordance with the CARFAC fee schedule. Submissions are reviewed annually. Only complete submissions are considered.

We currently have one annual submission deadline of October 15. Our program schedule is usually set 12–24 months in advance.

  • An exhibition fee in accordance with current CARFAC guidelines (see Sections A.1.1 and A.1.3; Artcite is considered a Category I gallery).
