Artists and curators living in the United States are welcome to submit portfolios and exhibition proposals for the Lincoln Center Art Galleries. The Lincoln Center seeks visually compelling exhibitions in all media that provide a unique and robust visual arts experience for the Colorado community. The Gallery staff develops the exhibition schedule from many different sources including direct submissions of portfolios and exhibition proposals for group and solo exhibitions from artists and curators.
There is an application fee of $35 to offset shipping and installation expenses for artists and curators selected for exhibition. Residents of the Fort Collins Growth Management Area receive a discount with the following discount code: FC1819.
This application is on a rolling deadline with submissions to be reviewed by Lincoln Center staff once in Spring 2018 and once in Fall of 2018 for exhibitions through Winter/Spring 2019. This Call for Entries will close on January 31, 2019. Applications received after the Winter/Spring 2019 review may be considered for future exhibitions.
The Lincoln Center's larger, self-contained art gallery offers an exhibition space that is approximately 1,450 square feet and can accommodate a wide variety of media. The Lobby Gallery offers a smaller exhibition space and can accommodate 2-dimensional work only. This space is approximately 46 linear feet, by 8' high. Because of the open and public nature of the space artworks should be protected by Plexiglas or glass, and/or not be fragile in nature. For your reference, gallery floor plans are available with this application.
Artists or curators selected for exhibition may be asked to present an engaging, educational program such as a lecture or gallery talk, workshop or other special presentation that relates to, augments and/or interprets the exhibition. The proposal should include a description of what type of program the applicant might present.
Lincoln Center staff will make the final determination of the placement of accepted work. Lincoln Center staff may elect to combine multiple applicants for small group exhibitions, and will determine the final venue for the exhibition, and the amount of support or honorarium for the artist(s).
