Taking part in juried exhibitions is an important step in many artists’ careers. It gives you an opportunity to start making connections with galleries, curators, jurors, and other artists. It also gets your work seen by collectors, builds your name in the community, and sometimes even nets you a sale or a ribbon!
The exhibitions you take part in can be put on an artists’ CV, as can any of your awards and recognitions. Proof of past exhibition experience gives you greater credibility in the art world and can help open doors to prestigious opportunities.
Even if you’re not necessarily looking to build a full career in fine art, taking part in juried exhibitions is just fun. You get to see your work on the wall, meet fellow artists, and invite your friends to celebrate your accomplishment. Juried shows also often have themes that can provide a jolt of inspiration for new pieces and keep your portfolio from going stagnant.
Here are a few exhibition opportunities coming up for artists residing in Georgia, both at The Art Center and in the wider community:
