Call for Proposals! Solo or Group Show in 2026
2025-08-01 12:00 - 2025-10-01 16:00 (America/New_York)
Mark your calendars! Accepting applications August 1st, 2025 – October 1st, 2025. Please do not send any before then.
Do you have a body of work that would fill a space and has a consistent theme? The Gallery committee is seeking proposals for the 2026 exhibition schedule.
Individuals or groups of artists may submit a proposal for a show in the main gallery some time in 2026. Groups of artists should have artwork with a similar theme to create a cohesive show.
Strong proposals will have a well thought out theme that is consistent for the body of work and not a sampling of many styles and mediums that an artist has created. At least 10 high quality images are also required for the proposal so the committee can get a clear idea of the quality of the work.
An application fee of $15 for NAA members and $25 for non-members is required for submission, payment mailed in or brought to NAA. If your exhibit is scheduled, an additional fee of $85 is required by Dec.1, 2025.
Deadline to submit proposals is October 1, 2025, Artists will be notified via email by November 1, 2025. See link to application below.
Submit application and images to: Attn: Denise Van Deroef at gallery@newarkartsalliance.org
