Call for Artist Proposals

The Northcutt Steele Gallery, located at Montana State University Billings, is currently accepting proposals for exhibitions. The gallery provides four shows per year to showcase professional artists on a national scope; when possible, these artists are brought in to present talks about their work and experiences, and to conduct workshops for MSU Billings students and staff as well as the general community.

Who

Professional artists working in any medium. There are some space and size constraints; artwork cannot be larger than 8 feet in any dimension. Preference will be given to artists who are willing to speak and conduct workshops related to their art.

What

Artists should submit:

• a brief introductory letter or proposal
• images of 12-15 works (or 3-5 installations)
• an image list with thumbnails of each image as well as the title, date, dimensions, and media
• a biography, CV, and/or résumé

The deadline for submissions for shows in the 2016-2017 school year is May 1, 2015.
