Considerations
Due to the East Gallery's role as both a gallery and an events venue, artists should keep the following in mind when submitting proposals:
1. Sculpture/3D work must be exhibited on provided wall shelving or designated pedestals along the periphery of the gallery. Artwork cannot be exhibited in the middle of the gallery unless it is easily moveable for events.
2. Artists should take into consideration delicate artwork because of the varied foot traffic and usage of the space. Food and drink is served in this gallery.
