The MC Erny Gallery at WHQR is currently accepting submissions from artists for the next ten shows that will run from February 2025 though late 2026. Artwork must be two dimensional and able to hang on a wall.
Artists must electronically submit their information along with three examples of artwork by August 30, 2024. A jury will meet in September to select the artists. Artists will be notified by email.
We ask that submissions include an artist statement, dimensions, medium, pricing suggestions, and any suggestions and/or ideas for an exhibit at the WHQR Gallery.
The MC Erny Gallery has approximately 900 square feet of total floor space. There is roughly 66 feet of linear wall space, and the ceiling height is approximately 12 feet.
Exhibition Details
Art exhibitions rotate every two months. WHQR will host an opening reception and one additional closing reception on Fourth Friday Gallery Walk nights. The artist(s) is/are expected to pay for 50% of the reception costs. The artist half is usually about $250 per show (2 receptions). The majority of the pieces must be available for purchase. WHQR will retain 35% of the sale price as a commission.
If you would like to submit as a group, please select a "group leader" who will submit for the group.
Typical pricing for pieces in our gallery range from $40-$400, with occasional major pieces in the $1000-$2000 range.
Depending on the work, our gallery sells anywhere from 2-25 pieces per show. At times, we have almost sold out a whole show. This varies wildly depending on how the art is received by the public and the prices of the pieces.
If you have any questions about submitting your artwork, please email Sharpe Williams at memberservices@whqr.org.
