The Sumter County Gallery of Art (SCGA) is now accepting exhibition proposals for its 2010 exhibition schedule. SCGA is an innovative non-profit art institution that features leading-edge exhibitions and public programs showcasing new perspectives in traditional and contemporary art that pushes boundaries in its treatment of materials and subject matter. Located in stunning galleries within Sumter's landmark Cultural Center, in a newly renovated state of the art facility adjacent to Patriot Hall, SCGA presents work in a range of media by influential national and international artists as well as local and emerging artists. We have an excellent facility, including 2 large exhibition galleries and a 12' wide corridor gallery, which affords us over 3000 running feet of exhibition space. A rich array of public programs enhance SCGA's exhibition schedule, including provocative talks by visiting artists, and interactive workshops and classes for members of the community of all ages. SCGA is an essential part of Sumter’s educational resources, providing opportunities to engage with visiting artists and to explore new approaches in curatorial practice and museum and gallery education.
The gallery will accept proposals from emerging and established artists residing in the continental United States for group and solo exhibitions. ALL MEDIA will be considered. No entry fee is required. Please submit a proposal that includes 10 - 20 jpg images numbered on a CD/DVD. Please include a hard copy of the numbered image checklist (Include: title, media, dimensions, and date), artist statement, bio, resume/cv, and cover letter that describes proposed exhibit and scheduling information to: Frank McCauley, Curator, SCGA, PO Box 1316, Sumter, SC 29151.
