Call: TRUCK Gallery is seeking project submissions for Oct. 1st deadline
The Main Gallery Space is programmed through an annual call for submissions as well as by curated exhibitions. TRUCK hosts eight exhibitions each year in this space and accepts applications from professional artists only.
TRUCK’s definition of a professional artist is someone who has:
*completed his/her basic training (or the equivalent)
*produced an independent body of work
*received the recognition of his or her peers through public presentation of work in a professional context
*maintained an independent professional practice for at least one year.
Full-time undergraduate students at a school, college or university are not eligible to apply, however this restriction only applies to our main space and students are welcome to apply to our +15 and CAMPER spaces. Graduate students are eligible only if they meet TRUCK Gallery’s definition of a professional artist, and the project for which they are applying is not related to their program of study.
Submission procedure:
Proposals are selected through a peer review process by the TRUCK Programming Committee. The Committee is comprised of board members who have extensive visual, performance, and media art backgrounds. Proposals will be selected based on consideration of the following criteria: artistic merit of the proposed project, fit with TRUCK Gallery’s mandate, feasibility of the proposed budget, and the ability of TRUCK Gallery to provide appropriate space/support for the project.
