The MC Erny Gallery at WHQR is currently accepting submissions from artists for the next ten shows that will run from May 2023 though early 2025. 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 March 27, 2023. A jury will meet in late March to select the artists.

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.

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, each person should submit individually and note in "suggestions/ideas" that you are a part of a group, noting other artists names/name of 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.
