The Sinclair Community College Art Galleries promote the development of professional and student artists and serve as an educational resource for the entire community. The goal of the gallery program is to advocate and encourage the practice and appreciation of the various forms, media, and artistic expressions open to the contemporary artist and viewer. Criteria for acceptance include embodiment of formal artistic concepts, innovative approaches, and professional presentation. The Art Department aims to present to students and the community as many styles and concepts as possible, but will prioritize submissions that compliment Sinclair's fine art students' study of ceramics, collage, drawing, painting, fine art photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

Location

Sinclair has two separate, professionally designed galleries.
• The Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery is designed for the exhibition of all media, including electronic and installation work.
• The Works on Paper Gallery is a glass enclosed case 7' tall x 37' wide x 14" deep. Works on exhibit should be matted but need not be framed.
• Gallery information may be found on our Galleries Detail Page.

Fees

Free

Eligibility

Artists residing within the United States who have a professional body of work. Multi-artist or group shows will be considered.

Requirements

Digital submissions should be e-mailed to: amanda.darrah@sinclair.edu and contain:
• 10 images (jpg format, 72 dpi, 1200 widest/tallest dimension)
• An identifying list with titles, sizes, and media
• A resume or CV
• Artist statement
• Exhibition Application
• Any use of AI must be explicitly communicated.

Considerations

Exhibits are scheduled on a four-to-six-week rotation. Technology must be provided by the artist if their exhibitions require any digital displays such as monitors/projectors/etc. Honorariums are contingent on the exhibiting artist providing a valid Social Security Number or EIN. View a Draft Exhibition Agreement. All reasonable steps will be taken in the care and handling of work. However, artists exhibit "at their own risk." Neither the Sinclair Community College Art Department, nor the Art Galleries will be liable for any losses, costs, or damage that may occur. Sinclair Community College does not hold gallery insurance. The artist is responsible for expenses and insurance while artwork is being transported to and from the gallery.
