About

Root Division's Second Saturday Exhibition Series showcases the work of over 300 artists annually, and offers up to eight emerging curators the opportunity to explore conceptually rigorous group exhibitions in their galleries. Strong proposals to their curatorial program are innovative, engaging, and conceptually driven group exhibitions.

Part of Root Division's mission is to provide opportunities to as many emerging and mid-career artists as possible. They are currently only accepting guest curated proposals for group exhibitions. On average group exhibitions range from 12-20 artists. Their exhibitions series aims to reach a diverse range of Bay Area audiences, and they value the opportunity for these public events to forge organizational partnerships and cross promotional educational programming.

While Root Division does not exclude artists and curators from outside the Bay Area, their primary focus is developing opportunities for local artists. Strong proposals will include tangible relevance to the Bay Area if the curator or proposed artists are not local.

Root Division is a visual arts non-profit that connects creativity and community through a dynamic ecosystem of arts education, exhibitions, and studios. The gallery is at the center of the organization's facility, and as such, this space serves many needs and provides a unique environment in which to curate a show. Root Division strongly encourages you to visit their website to familiarize yourself with their past and current exhibition program, and to understand the mission of the organization before submitting a proposal.
