The Crossroads Art Center is dedicated in presenting quality artwork, and the conceptual integrity of exhibition proposals (as well as the particular scope or focus of CAC's exhibit schedule for that year) are the primary deciding factors in determining which artists are selected for exhibition. Submissions should be sent to Exhibitions Director, Jenni Kirby; Crossroads Art Center, 2016 Staples Mill Rd, Richmond, VA 23230
The following types of exhibition opportunities are offered by CAC:

1) “ALL MEDIA” Shows selected by Jurors:
All Media Gallery Shows are held every other month and are juried by arts professionals such as museum curators, arts organization curators, art consultants, art critics, independent curators, art historians and accomplished artists. All mid-Atlantic artists are invited to submit their works to CAC through a Call for Entries procedure. The number of artists selected depends upon the juror's decision. Cash prizes are awarded.
