Exhibition Opportunities.
Chashama
All of chashama's visual art exhibit spaces are on the ground floor of a building, or are easily accessible from the street. Most of them were former retail stores, some have large street facing windows. chashama transforms these vacant spaces into temporary exhibit spaces; each one is unique in its layout and overall aesthetic. If you are planning a site-specific installation, it is recommended that you make a site visit before submitting an application. Applications will be reviewed three times a year for the spaces we currently have available. A few traditional exhibits will be selected "in reserve" should another space become available before the next application review period.
Though not a necessity, we recommend artists work with a curator to prepare their exhibits.
Exhibition Guidelines
Proposal materials required:
DIGITAL IMAGES ON CD (JPEG ONLY)
Images should not exceed 8"x10" 150 ppi or be below 5"x7" 150 ppi
Include prints as visual reference. (digital file image quality will be considered, not prints)
Prints should not exceed 8"x10"
NUMBERED IMAGE LIST
List: Artist, Title, Size, Media, Year and any other relevant notes about the work.
Traditional exhibits (works hung on the walls, sitting on the floor, or both)
At least 10 images of work that you wish to exhibit.
Installations (created off-site and re-assembled or installed in the space)
At least 3 sketches of the proposed site-specific installation (one sketch should be a floor plan)
At least 7 images of previous work. Do not include more than two slides from the same installation.
A detailed description of your installation, typed.
A list of materials you would use to create your installation (what it is made of, and any power tools or machinery used to construct it).
Site Specific Installations (for installations that could not exist in another space, and use the space itself as part of the work). Include the following along with the above proposal materials.
A typed (no more than one page) description of what makes the proposed work site-specific. Please include specific references to the structural or spatial elements of the site and how they have influenced your planning.
A floor plan of the installation (you may submit more than one proposed floor plan if you wish).
Remember when requesting exhibit dates, artists selected for exhibits are responsible for staffing (or finding staff for) their exhibits during the gallery's hours.
