The Crossroads Art Center Exhibition Programming Policy
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, Rachael Hawks Worsham; Crossroads Art Center, 2016 Staples Mill Rd, Richmond, VA 23230 Fax 804-278-8951
The following types of exhibition opportunities are offered by CAC:
1) “ALL MEDIA” Shows selected by Jurors:
Monthly “All Media Show” exhibitions 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. Anyone who wishes to receive a prospectus for upcoming juried shows may send his or her address to CAC at the above address or via email: Rachael’s email address
2) Exhibitions Organized by Curators
See below.
3) Solo and Group exhibitions initiated by CAC Exhibitions Director
CAC’s Exhibitions Director curates solo or thematic group exhibitions each month. These exhibitions result from introduction to artist's work through slide submissions, studio visits; research in slide registries; visits to other galleries and arts organizations; attending lectures, panels, and special events; visiting university art departments; peer recommendations from other artists and curators; readings and other sources of inspiration.
Slide Submissions by Artists seeking Solo Exhibitions
CAC encourages artists to submit slides and other visual materials of recent work for consideration in solo exhibition programming. Submissions should include one or more sheets of recent slides, an artist resume, artist statement, any catalogs or press coverage, and a self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E.) with protective cardboard and sufficient postage to cover slide return.
Reviews of materials are now done throughout the year. CAC's Director of Exhibitions reviews the submissions and will respond to the artist through a letter or telephone call. This may require some waiting period as the annual programming is developed over a year in advance with an agenda for balance, range and inclusivity. Artists are welcome to check in on the decision making progress. Apologies for this lag time are herein offered.
**Artwork must be for sale or an additional $200 fee for exhibition only will be applied.
Submitted Proposals of Thematic Group Exhibitions
Curators may submit proposals of thematic group exhibitions that explore an idea in depth. CAC recommends that one individual serve as the project organizer (curator / artist / writer). This individual should not be one of the proposed exhibiting artists. Artistic quality, depth of research, budget feasibility, attention to administrative detail, and overall professionalism of the proposal are deciding factors in selecting exhibitions. Submissions should include: an exhibition goal statement; a list of artists with their resumes and current slides or videos; experience of project organizer (resume), budget, outline of project needs, and a self-addressed stamped envelope with protective cardboard and sufficient postage to cover return of submission.
CAC’s Director of Exhibitions will review thematic curatorial submissions and respond through a letter or telephone call. Consideration of submissions is ongoing. Again, applicants should be aware that the exhibition schedule is being developed almost two years in advance.
**Artwork must be for sale or an additional $200 fee for exhibition only will be applied.
Traveling or Shared Exhibitions
CAC also presents traveling or shared exhibitions of art that are organized by other institutions. An example is the Paper Cutters Guild of North America, in its traveling schedule; the guild was able to host a show in Gallery I. Other collaborations include co-organized exhibitions with other institutions and artist residencies in the schools or community.
