Northern Clay Center
periodically solicits for guest curatorial opportunities and exhibition
proposals. These exhibitions require artwork made either partially or
completely of ceramic materials. There will be at least one exhibition
opportunity each year. The Galusha Gallery will be made available for these
opportunities. The gallery space measures 31′ x 19′ with a wall height of 11′.
There are two windows on the south wall of the space. The maximum size for an
object is 9.5′ x 5.5′. A gallery map is available upon request.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal for an exhibition, please
provide the following information:

  1. A cover letter describing the purpose or curatorial intent of the
    exhibition.
  2. A resumé.
  3. A price list including NCC’s 50% gallery commission, if the work
    is to be for sale.
  4. A maximum of 20 slides representing the type of work to be
    included in the exhibition. Each slide must be labeled with the artist’s
    name, title of work, medium, date, size (H x W x D), photo credit, and a
    dot in the lower left corner to indicate orientation.
  5. Northern Clay Center is now accepting digital images submitted on
    a CD. Images must be in JPEG format at 300 dpi. Please be certain to
    identify all images on the CD with the following information: artist’s
    name, title of work, medium, date, size (H x W x D), photo credit.
  6. A corresponding image list that includes the same information as
    the slide labels if submitting slides, or image information on the CD if
    submitting digital images.
  7. A self-addressed stamped envelope for return of submitted materials.
    If postage is not included, materials will not be returned.
NCC’s jurors will make every effort to review and
respond to submissions in a timely manner. They plan to meet again in
January  2013 for opportunities in 2014. Please expect the process to take
at least 2 – 3 months. Because we do not maintain a slide registry or artist
file, all materials will be returned to you (in the SASE provided) unless your
proposal is under consideration.

Proposals should be mailed to:

Exhibitions
Northern Clay Center
2424 Franklin Ave. East
Minneapolis, MN 55406

NCC will require that artists or guest curators deliver work to be included in
the exhibition to the Clay Center and assist with both installation and
de-installation. NCC will provide promotion for the exhibition and a reception
for the public.

If your proposal is accepted, you will receive detailed information about
schedules and terms.

Please contact the exhibition manager with any questions or concerns at
