A vacancy at Peer Gallery becomes available only when an artist leaves but we accept applications at any time. Applications are kept on file.
Our year runs from April 1 to March 31. By November 15 we know if there will be a vacancy the following year. An ad hoc selection committee reviews the applications on file.
A short list is created and interviews may be held. The selection committee presents their recommendations to the co-operative for approval.
A formal invitation is then extended to the prospective artist.
If an application is not successful, the artist may be invited to leave their application on file for review at the next opportunity.
Applications
Please include:
a cover letter that outlines what you bring to the gallery, not only your work but the commitment and skills you would bring to the cooperative experience
an artist statement describing your practice and specialized areas of interest
a résumé that includes your background and exhibition/gallery experience (if any)
examples of your work e.g. a website link or up to 10 images
complete contact information (address, phone, e-mail etc)
If you submit your application by mail and wish for it to be returned after the review process please include a self addressed, stamped envelope. We will do our best to return your submission but are not responsible for loss or damage of material submitted.
