City Seeks Proposals for Art Exhibits at City Hall Gallery Space

From the City of El Cerrito:

EL CERRITO, CA - The City of El Cerrito Arts and Culture Commission invites artists to submit proposals to display their work in the rotating Gallery Space on the second floor of the El Cerrito City Hall.

The Arts and Culture Commission reviews submissions for the Gallery Space twice each year. Electronic proposals must be received by Monday, November 28, 2016 to be considered at next review, which will be at the Arts and Culture Commission meeting in early December.

Residents of Contra Costa County and Alameda County are welcome to apply. Preference is given to artists who are residents of El Cerrito. Since next year will be El Cerrito’s centennial anniversary of incorporating as a city, special consideration will be given to El Cerrito-themed shows in honor of the City’s Centennial during 2017.

Interested artists should provide a proposal including an electronic sample of their works of art to be presented to the Arts and Culture Commission for review and consideration. Guidelines for submission can be downloaded from the City’s website here.

The El Cerrito City Hall Gallery Space is located on the second floor of El Cerrito City Hall, located at 10890 San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito CA 94530 and is open to the public during regular business hours. The Gallery Space has had successful showings since its opening in October 2008.
