EXHIBITIONS

The Krasl Art Center shows art indoors and out throughout the year. We value experimentation, innovation, excellence, timeliness and relevance. We are a safe place to experience new ideas and new media, and engage in challenging and provocative dialogue. We encourage community transformation through the arts and collaboration.

If you have an exhibition concept that meets these values, please submit a proposal to curatorial@krasl.org.

Provide:

• A clear concept of what you are proposing in 500 words or less.
• Related credentials and online resources – artist website, blog, social media, etc.
• Up to 12 images, small enough to be included in your email, and clear enough to be legible.
