Venues
A confirmed venue is not a requirement in the application process, however applicants should indicate the context for the display of work. As with most open calls, the more information the artist provides, the easier it is for the review panel to envision how the project will materialize, if it satisfies the selection criteria, and if the project is feasible. We recommend beginning to look into venue options, especially when planning to host an event in a gallery space, to consider timeline of events (many galleries/organizations book well in advance). Below are venue and virtual options to look into:
Art House, Inc., Artist Archives of the Western Reserve, Beauty Shoppe (Seymour Building), Breakforth Studio, Cleveland Print Room, Current Cleveland, Deep Dive Art Projects, East Cleveland Public Library, Edward E. Parker Museum of Art, Deep Roots, Imprint Arts Collective, Inlet Dance Theatre, Karamu House, Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, Photocentric Gallery, Praxis Fiber Workshop, The Sculpture Center, The Pivot Center, Tri-C Metro-Campus Gill and Tommy LiPuma Center for Creative Arts, Waterloo Arts, Zygote Press.
