About the organization

The Dorsky Museum, located at the State University of New York at New Paltz, serves as a vital cultural and educational resource for the Hudson Valley region. Founded in 2001, the museum is dedicated to presenting the art and history of the Hudson Valley and beyond, with a particular emphasis on contemporary art and the region's rich artistic heritage. Its mission is to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, publications, and public programs that engage diverse audiences. The museum's commitment to scholarship and community engagement is reflected in its dynamic exhibition schedule, which often features thematic group shows, solo presentations, and historical surveys that contextualize local artistic production within broader national and international dialogues.

Taking part

Artists interested in exhibiting at the Dorsky Museum should first familiarize themselves with the museum's exhibition history and mission, paying close attention to its focus on the Hudson Valley and contemporary art. While the museum does not accept unsolicited proposals for solo exhibitions, it regularly issues open calls for specific projects, such as the 'Hudson Valley Artists' series. These calls are typically announced on the museum's website and through regional arts networks. Applicants are advised to submit well-conceived proposals that demonstrate a clear connection to the museum's thematic interests and a high level of artistic merit. It is also beneficial to visit the museum in person to understand its space and curatorial style. For general inquiries, contacting the curatorial department via email is recommended, but artists should avoid sending unsolicited full portfolios without prior invitation.
