Call for Exhibiting Artists

Easthampton City Arts comes to life thanks to the engagement from our community of artists, makers, creatives, performers, and their supporters.

Apply to Exhibit at ECA Gallery

We invite you to apply to exhibit your artwork at ECA Gallery! Artists must apply through the form below and be selected through ECA’s Annual Open Call, which usually takes place during autumn each year. The deadline to apply for this year’s “open call” is Wednesday October 30, 2024 at 5:00pm. Applications will be reviewed in weeks that follow and artists will be selected to exhibit their work during the 2025 calendar year. Applications are reviewed by a panel of ECA Coordinating Committee members and additional representatives from the greater visual arts community. All applicants will receive notification in December 2024.

The ECA Gallery is centrally located in a well-trafficked area in the heart of downtown. Approximately 150 square feet, the ECA Gallery is an intimate space that can accommodate a variety of mediums from 2- and 3-D work to video and installations. Exhibits at ECA Gallery include an artist’s reception that coincides with ECA’s monthly Art Walk event, which takes place on the First Saturday of each month. A new exhibit is on view every month with the exception of January when the gallery is closed.

Please keep the following in mind, should you wish to apply:

We welcome and encourage 1-person, 2-person, and group shows
Each exhibit is provided with a $100 honorarium to assist with artist costs
Our municipal organization is not able to insure artworks or property — artists are welcome and encouraged to provide their own insurance
