2027-28 call for exhibitions
Selection process
All entries are juried and selected through a blind selection process by our gallery committee, comprised of dedicated faculty, staff, K-12 art educators, and artists from the community.
The review process takes place during the Fall semester, and artists receive notification in January.
Artists may apply for solo, two-person, or group exhibitions.
Campus Visits and Engagement
Visits to campus are an important part of programming, but some exhibitions are scheduled without a visit. Penn College offers a B.S. in Graphic Design. Foundation courses include drawing, 2D and 3D design, visual literacy, painting, ceramics, wood sculpture, printmaking, and computer graphics. Artists are encouraged to propose class-specific programs. Optional workshops for the community are also welcome. Accepted artists will be asked for proposals, or artists may email proposals after applying to gallery@pct.edu.
Reception and Promotion
Gallery receptions are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Artists visiting campus will offer a gallery talk of 20-30 minutes during the public reception.
Promotional support includes annual gallery catalog, postcards, press releases, and web and social media.
Gallery Information
The Gallery is 3,000 square feet. Linear wall space can range from 82 - 250 running feet. Ceiling height is 11' 4". View Floor plan.
Artists must have enough work for a solo exhibition, unless applying for a two-person show.
All exhibitions are installed by Gallery staff. Site-specific installations that necessitate the artist to install require a planning document to be submitted for approval prior to scheduling.
