GoggleWorks Center for the Arts — Major Exhibitions — Proposal Form

Overview
GoggleWorks Center for the Arts operates as a substantial institutional anchor, and its exhibition program reflects a commitment to presenting work across a broad disciplinary spectrum. The call encompasses two distinct venues: the Cohen Gallery, the organization's largest space, divisible into two separate exhibition areas—a 2,700-square-foot west side with wood flooring and a 3,100-square-foot east side with concrete—and the Schmidt Gallery, a second-floor space exceeding 1,500 square feet with wood floors. Both galleries are equipped with movable walls (4 by 8 feet), natural light from large windows, and adjustable LED track lighting. This infrastructure supports ambitious installation, two-dimensional, and time-based practices alike. Proposals are reviewed by GoggleWorks' Exhibitions Committee on a rolling, bi-annual schedule, with consideration cycles in spring and fall. There is no submission fee. The organization presents prominent juried exhibitions, including those with a part [original text truncated]. Artists selected for exhibition receive institutional support in the form of gallery space, technical infrastructure, and inclusion in GoggleWorks' broader programming. The committee seeks proposals that demonstrate a clear curatorial vision and thoughtful engagement with the specific architectural and spatial conditions of each gallery. The dual venues allow for both focused solo presentations and thematic group exhibitions, and the committee considers proposals across all disciplines.
