Hub-Bub.com - Exhibiting

If you are an innovative visual artist interested in exhibiting your work at The Showroom gallery, HUB-BUB is currently accepting applications for exhibition. Artists working in every medium — from painting, drawing and sculpture to photography, video, print and graphic illustration — will be considered. Many exhibits work off of a common theme. Others may be group shows, or possibly even a solo show. See the Opportunities page for a current listing of upcoming exhibits and market dates.

The Showroom is a contemporary gallery featuring the work of progressive artists. HUB-BUB works hard to specifically showcase those artists who are young and emerging. We welcome all regional and national artists to apply.

If you would like to be considered for a group exhibition in 2009 please send the following:

        * 10 images of your work on a CD readable by Mac and PCs. Clearly label each image with the title, dimension, and medium of the work.
        * A brief biographical paragraph and photograph (jpeg) of yourself (for our files and press information in case your work is selected to exhibit)
        * A list of any special technical requirements your exhibit would require
        * Current resume
        * A self-addressed stamped envelope if you wish for your materials to be returned to you.

Send to:

The gallery is a 3,000-square-foot, wide-open room with exposed brick walls and gallery-carpeted walls. The space has hardwood floor, and the ceiling height is 12 feet.

We use a gallery hanging system (with steel cables) on the brick walls. Other walls can be nailed directly into. Podiums are available for three-dimensional pieces, and electrical outlets are plentiful for those artists requiring monitor/video hook up.

Submissions are reviewed and shows are curated by the Hub-Bub Art Selection Committee, which is composed of local artists and art professionals. The committee will schedule exhibits and choose artists to display. The exhibit schedule consists of group shows with 2-4 artists and themed shows which may include more.

Most exhibits show for approximately one month. The artist is responsible for transporting the exhibited pieces of art to and from the gallery in person or by mail. 2D-art must be framed or mounted in some way for hanging.

If possible, we encourage artists to attend the opening reception for his or her exhibition.

Our commission rate is 30 percent. This fee helps to cover gallery operating expenses.

We will be responsible for the following:

    * providing a safe and secure, well-lit gallery to showcase the artists' work
    * creating title/artist/price tags for each piece
    * advertising the exhibit in print, on the radio and on the web
    * set-up and break-down of the exhibit (local artists are strongly encouraged to help with this for their show.)
    * creating invitations to opening night galas
    * hosting the gala
    * insuring the work in our gallery up to $5,000.


HUB-BUB will retain submission packages. Please note in your submission how long you wish us to consider your work.

Thank you for your interest and best of luck!
