IN THE GALLERIES: AN OPEN CALL FOR ALL ARTISTS NOW THROUGH JUNE, 2012
Each year, we issue a Call for Entries for art to be shown in our galleries the following year; currently, the Call for Entries is open for juried solo and small group shows in 2013 and will remain open through June 8, 2012. Our jury convenes later that month with artists notified of results by the first of July.
We use CaFE™ (callforentry.org) for registration, which is free. Once you are registered with the site, select “Apply to Calls” and find our Call for Entries in the alphabetical listings as “Dairy Center for the Arts 2013″. The Dairy has an eleven member Visual Art Committee (the VAC) that juries all entries. The VAC is comprised of faculty members from the department of Fine Art and from the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado, professional artists, and experienced art collectors.
Thank you for your interest in our Galleries! We hope you plan to apply to exhibit with us in 2013. Mary Horrocks Curator of Visual Art and Education maryh@thedairy.org
GALLERIES AT THE DAIRY
The Dairy’s galleries began with the inception of the Colorado Community Curator (CCC) program in 1997 with a roughed-out gallery area and rolling wall padlocked each night for security purposes. When Phase II of The Dairy renovation was completed in 2001, the McMahon Gallery, In Focus Gallery, Polly Addison Exhibition Space and The MacMillan Family Lobby opened as premier gallery spaces for local art exhibitions. Today, our Dairy galleries exhibit the work of more than eighty regional, national and international artists in eighteen juried shows each year.
The Dairy Galleries are growing in recognition throughout Colorado and , nationally and internationally. In January of each year, a Call for Entries is made for art to be shown in our galleries for the following year; e.g. in February 2012, the Call for Entries will be made for juried shows in 2013. Information about the application process will be given on this site at that time. The application process will close in late March. The Dairy’s Visual Art Committee (VAC) will jury applications in April with final selection notification made to artists in May or June. The volunteer committee VAC is comprised of business owners, artists, CU faculty, art patrons, board members and The Dairy Gallery Coordinator.
