16th Annual Juried Art Show
Riverviews Artspace is pleased to announce its 16th Annual Juried Art Show and invites artists from across the nation to submit their work for consideration. Artists are encouraged to submit up to three pieces, regardless of subject matter or medium, for evaluation by our esteemed juror, Betsy Bannan.
Submissions must be received by September 13, 2024, via the provided entry form linked in the “APPLY” button.
The selected artworks will be exhibited in the Main Gallery from November 1, 2024 through January 9, 2025.
Emerging Artist Exhibitions
The Emerging Artist Series is an initiative to assist up-and-coming local artists who are looking to expand their CVs and knowledge of exhibiting their artwork. Each Emerging Artist will receive an exhibit in our Rosel H. Schewel Gallery and Theater, and work with our curatorial staff to plan and execute their showcase. We define “emerging” as those early in their professional artistic careers, who may wish to learn more about major gallery representation, building an extensive exhibition history, garnering awards, or sustaining an income derived solely from art sales and commissions.
Participants have the opportunity to build relationships within an expansive community of artists and art professionals. The combination of exhibition and supplemental programing of “how-to” (curate, artist statements, apply for exhibits, building a CV) is intended to further the recipients’ artistic practice, while encouraging career sustainability and empowering their artistic voice.
Interested artists should know:
The program is open to artists working in any media, regardless of artistic practice, gender, age, background, socioeconomic level, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and all levels of education. Artists should live within 100 miles of Lynchburg, VA.
To submit your application for the Emerging Artist Series, please fill out the Emerging Artist Exhibition Application Form and upload the following materials:
8-10 digital images (jpegs, 3MB max per image)
Image list in corresponding order, which must include title, media, ground, and size (HxWxD) of each work
