Application Process for Exhibits

Next CALL FOR PROPOSALS: May 2025 - NOW OPEN!

  • NCFA will put out a call for exhibit proposals each May.

  • A new curatorial committee will meet each July to make decisions about the following year’s exhibits. More here!

  • Committee members will be asked to review images independently before coming together.

  • Applicants will be notified by early August.

  • Exhibit proposals may include: 

    • individual shows

    • guest curation or shared exhibits

    • submissions for the group show for emerging artists

    • all types of visual art, including 2D and 3D work

Please note that all artwork submitted must be available for sale (exceptions may apply) and NCFA retains a 20% commission on all artwork sold. NCFA will host an opening reception in coordination with Arts Night Out (the second Friday of the month) and ask that the selected artists participate in a facilitated artist talk.

The Barn Door Gallery is approximately 20’ x 26’ and has about 70-80 linear feet of wall space (depending on the kind of art being displayed). It has five pedestals, a movable wall, and tables may also be available for 3D work.
