Gallery Releases Call for Artists

CHERRY VALLEY—Proposals for exhibits for the 2024 season are now being accepted by 25 Main Collective. Each show will run four-five weeks in the collective space at 21 Main Street or in the café space at 25 Main Street, or a combination thereof.

In a press release, organizers said they are looking for a range of artists to apply, including but not limited to visual art, sculpture, fiber arts, mixed media, ceramics, and more. Priority will be given to artists who have never shown their work at 25 Main Collective, or those working in a new medium not yet displayed at the collective.

Exhibit openings will be held from 5-8 p.m. during Cherry Valley’s First Fridays. The following dates are currently available: February 2-25; April 5-28; May 3-26; June 7-30; July 5-28; August 2-25; September 6-29; October 4-27; November 1-24; December 6-31.

Those applying to exhibit should include a written description detailing their theme or central idea. Artists may propose their own group show—all proposed group artists must supply pictures and contact information—or 25 Main Collective may choose to combine their show with other applicants. Photos of at least five pieces are required, including medium shots and close-ups, if relevant. Pieces photographed could be those the artist would like to present or representative of past work, if creating brand-new pieces. Applicants must also provide a curriculum vitae/resume—including gallery shows over the last five years and contact information—and their availability and preference for display dates.

The deadline for applications is February 29.

Those unfamiliar with 25 Main Collective are invited to stop by at 21/25 Main Street, Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Application materials and questions should be directed to Noelle Adamoschek at 25maincollective@gmail.com
