Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: Ongoing – The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery invites submissions and proposals from artists and independent curators year-round. Typically we hold two person exhibitions, however, we are open to ideas for group shows or solo shows. If you are an artist applying consider letting us know if there is another artist you would like to exhibit with.

This gallery is an integral component of the University of Dallas Art Department and our exhibitions are designed to encourage a dialogue between artists and students; artists and the university community, as well as artists with the broader community. We hope to achieve this by inviting a dynamic array of contemporary artists to our campus.

ELIGIBILITY
We encourage local artists in the DFW area and Texas to apply. However, national and international submissions are welcome, additional sources of funding to cover accommodation and shipping expenses will need to be secured by the applicant.

Applications remain eligible for later programming if the artist wishes. All artforms are welcomed.

REVIEW
Exhibition proposals are reviewed by a committee of the University of Dallas scholars and artists. Our exhibitions average 8 weeks in duration and generally follow a typical school year September through May.
