Menu Exhibit in Our Galleries
The Alliance for the Arts welcomes proposals for submissions to our Gallery Manager for opportunities to show during our seasons. We are interested in all media. Themes we are planning to explore included fine art quilts, site-specific installations, contemporary Florida, ethnicity, fiber art, photography, digital arts, or cultural phenomenon.
Proposals should include 20 cohesive images (jpegs), artists c.v. or resume, and an artist’s statement. Copies of reviews, articles, or other submission-supporting materials are also welcome. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return of materials. Artists who submit may be offered the opportunity to show as part of a curated exhibit.
Proposal submissions can be submitted online by clicking here or mailed to:

Rules
No work previously exhibited in the galleries of the Alliance for the Arts will be accepted, except for retrospectives.
Exhibitions
Opening receptions are usually held on the first Friday evening of the month. Exhibitions generally run for three or four weeks. For the program we need a list of titles, media, and prices at the time the show is installed. Artists are encouraged to exhibit works that are for sale. All works sold as a result of the Alliance for the Arts Exhibitions are subject to a 40% commission, unless the artist is an AFTA Member, in which case the Alliance will retain a 30% commission. To become a member, go to http://artinlee.org/membership.
Gallery Hours
The Alliance for the Arts operates on a calendar year determined by staff, closing holidays and at other specific periods of time. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM and on Saturday from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. There is no admission fee for the gallery. We are closed on Sundays, except for special events.
Requirements
Images:
Up to ten (20) pieces of work available for purchase. Digital submissions in the form of jpegs are preferred, and must be titled with title of work, year, and medium. Additional support material may also be submitted. CD’s will be returned only if a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope is included.

Price lists of work must correspond to slide number.
