Batesville Area Arts Council:
Guide for Gallery on Main Submissions:
The
Batesville Area Arts Council’s Gallery on
Main allows artists a venue to share their work with the community. The
gallery hosts solo and group exhibits annually by talented local and visiting
artists along with receptions to allow the public to meet the artist to learn
more about the individual and their work.
Any artist seeking to exhibit their work at the BAAC Gallery
may submit proposals to be reviewed by the visual arts committee (comprised of art
professionals). Please submit a
short typed proposal that can also include an artist statement and/ or bio. Be specific in this proposal about the
work you plan to display describing subject matter and media. Proposals for
group exhibitions are also encouraged.
