Call to Artists: 2026 Solo Exhibition Proposals
Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at AVA Gallery and Art Center. AVA features solo exhibiting artists showing concurrently in our three/four beautiful and spacious exhibition galleries. AVA is committed to exhibiting artists of diverse backgrounds and representing diversity, equity, and inclusion through meaningful and engaging contemporary art, cultivating an exchange of ideas and dialogue between the local art community and beyond. Our Exhibition Committee consists of artists, art curators, and art professionals who review proposals with thoughtful consideration and equal representation given to artists with strong connections to NH, VT, and the greater New England region. Since there are limited opportunities for single/solo exhibitions, artists who submit a proposal may be invited to participate in a curated group exhibition. The deadline for submission of proposals for the 2026 calendar year is midnight, March 31, 2025. Notices will be sent no later than July 31, 2025. For questions about the submission process, please contact Exhibition Manager, Samantha Eckert at sam@avagallery.org. The submission fee partially covers the expense of the electronic submission platform unfortunately, it is non-refundable.
Call to Artists: Shape|Shift: Objects and Non-Objectives
Call to Artists: Shape|Shift: Objects and Non-Objectives
Non-objective art is a general term that defines abstract art forms that lack adherence to identifiable, quantifiable, and observable characteristics of the living world, in other words, non-representational. (https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/non-objective-art) “Non-objective art may attempt to visualize the spiritual and can be seen as carrying a moral dimension, standing for virtues like purity and simplicity. In the 1960s a group of American artists, including Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd, embraced the philosophy of non-objective art. By creating highly simplified geometric art out of industrial materials they elevated these to an aesthetic level. Their work became known as minimal art”. (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/n/non-objective-art). Calling for abstract, non-representational/non-objective, 2D, and 3D artwork in all mediums. Exhibition dates: March 14-April 26. Delivery: Tuesday, March 11. Pick-up: Tuesday, April 29. 2D artworks must be no larger than 36" longest dimension; 3D: base up to 24", height up to 60", up to 40lbs.
