Call for Propsals- President’s Gallery Exhibition Proposals

The Harold Washington College program not only includes a permanent collection of student work but also features diverse work from regional, national, and international artists. We feature thematically-organized group exhibitions as well as several community-based exhibitions each year.

The President’s Gallery is not a typical “white cube” gallery space. While we have over 100 feet of linear wall space and can accommodate sculptural works, we are located in the college’s administrative offices. We are especially interested in artists who understand the spatial context and are genuinely excited to craft projects that exist in a more real environment.

We have an open submission policy for gallery proposals from artists and curators. We are interested in all types of work that address contemporary issues and concerns, use materials in unusual ways, and elevate our visitors’ experience to new levels of participation and engagement. You may propose a conceptually-linked show or share your individual work to be considered for group shows.

Completed proposal applications should include the following:
* 8 – 10 Images
* Image Checklist with Title, Date, Media
* Current Resume

Applications may be submitted electronically or by mail. To submit an electronic application, please send materials to jpallas@ccc.edu.

To submit an application by mail, send materials to the following address:
