SAVANNAH — The city of Savannah’s Department of Cultural Affairs announced that it is seeking artists to exhibit at Gallery Savannah’s Place for Art, Culture and Education in 2011. Gallery S.P.A.C.E. serves the Savannah community with exhibitions and educational programming designed to strengthen awareness and stimulate dialogue through artistic expression.
The 1,700 square-foot gallery is a community venue for the promotion of visual arts, via the display of contemporary art, design and fine crafts by local and regional artists. A full year of exhibitions is augmented with lectures, gallery tours, workshops and other programs.
Exhibiting at Gallery S.P.A.C.E. provides artists with an opportunity for a public reception, promotion, and exhibition experience, as well as exposure to Savannah’s visual art community.  In conjunction with an exhibition, artists are required to develop and present a learning opportunity to the public such as a workshop, lecture or demonstration.
All media will be considered for either non-degree seeking solo or group exhibition, including video and installation pieces. Proposals should be professionally presented and should include a cover letter, resume, an artist’s statement, a previous exhibition record, 10-12 digital images of work to be considered and a self-addressed, stamped envelope if the proposal needs to be returned.
The deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. Sept. 24. Proposals should be submitted to Debra Zumstein, arts programs coordinator, city of Savannah Department of Cultural Affairs, 9 W. Henry St., Savannah, GA  31401.  Proposal guidelines are available online at www.savannahga.gov/arts or by calling 651-6783.
