See FAQs for more info.) Application Deadline: Saturday, June 14 at 10:00 pm CST Application Fee: $25 Opening Reception: Friday, August 1, 2025 Exhibition Dates: July 31- August 29, 2025 A.R.C.

This Exhibition Award is made possible by a generous grant from the Athena Foundation in support of making solo show opportunities accessible to a broader audience. Visual artists of all disciplines, ages and geographic locations are encouraged to apply. The artists will be selected by the A.R.C. cooperative based on the quality of their work and commitment to their practice. Due to the nature of this call, examples of work submitted must be of the actual work to be exhibited, and include a clear plan of display within the gallery space. Work must be completed, available, and ready to display as of the date of submission. A.R.C. will make the final decision on which space the selected proposals will be installed. Exhibitions for the three selected artists will take place in August 2025. Work will be installed on July 27, and the deinstallation will occur on August 30th. The Opening Reception will be August 1st, 5-8pm. Selected artists will be expected to be present for all three dates, and to work with A.R.C. members to install and deinstall their work. A.R.C. will work with selected artists leading up to the installation and opening of the exhibitions. Apply here: https://www.arcgallery.org/calls-for-entry-archive/open-call-august-2025
