Call for Artists
McNeil Building Gallery
Applications accepted on a rolling basis
The Cultural Council is seeking exhibit proposals for its new gallery space at the McNeil Building in downtown Cortland.
Both solo and group shows will be considered. Group shows need a point person. At this time only 2D work can be accommodated.
Exhibits will be up for approximately 2 months.
To submit, please send the following to with “McNeil CFA” as the subject line:
-
A brief exhibit proposal
-
3 to 5 images of work to be considered (title, medium, dimensions)
-
Name, email and phone number of artist or point person
-
Website (optional)
Proposals will be reviewed by our gallery committee. If selected, artists are expected to become Artist Members of the Cultural Council. Each show will have a gallery opening, coordinated with the help of our gallery committee.
Please note the Cultural Council does not take responsibility for insuring artwork.
Display Work at the Guthrie Cortland Medical Center
Deadline Extended - Apply today
Area artists are invited to submit four to ten pieces for review for hanging in the lobby at the Guthrie Cortland Medical Center. One to two artists will be selected, and selected works will be hung for a six-month period.
The total usable space for artwork is 31 feet, separated in increments of 5 feet and 13 feet on one open wall, as well as two other walls at 4 and 5 feet, which also have a counter or tables along them. A hanging system is installed in this space, which can support up to 9 works. Submissions should take into account the available space and be no larger than 3 ft by 4 ft.
All work must be professionally presented. At least one image showing the finished presentation, whether framed, frameless, gallery wrapped or other, must be included. Selected works must be ready to hang by March 15. No sawtooth hangers will be accepted. The selected artist(s) must be a resident of Cortland County or one of its contiguous counties, and at the time in which the artwork is hung, be a member of the Cultural Council of Cortland County.
Jpeg images of the work should be submitted to culturalcouncil3@gmail.com.
