Exhibition Proposal Guidelines

Thank you for requesting information about exhibiting at the Cincinnati Arts Association’s Weston Art Gallery.

The Weston Art Gallery is a non-profit exhibition space devoted primarily to the promotion of local and regional artists. Each season is programmed almost two years in advance.

While the gallery accepts unsolicited applications from artists, curators, and organizations on an ongoing basis, these proposals are officially reviewed only in late fall by a committee composed of the gallery director and staff, as well as invited professionals in the arts community. Recommendations from this committee enable the gallery director to design a season that is diverse, inclusive, and reflects the rich diversity of artists in the region.

All proposals are given careful consideration and final decisions regarding each year’s proposals will be communicated via e-mail or letter shortly following the committee’s review. It is recommended that prospective artists review our Web site archive of past exhibitions for a sense of the Weston’s physical space and the variety of work shown.

Requirements

In order to be reviewed, you must submit the exhibition proposal materials outlined below. Materials may be sent on a physical USB flash drive or via online file transfer services such as email attachments, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Please note that we do not accept original work or models. The deadline for proposals each year is September 30. If you have questions or need technical assistance, please contact us at 513-977-4165 or submissions@cincinnatiarts.org.
