Brenda Tuxford Gallery - 2025 Call for Exhibition Proposals
Ends on
Brenda Tuxford Gallery is accepting exhibition proposals from community members for the first half of 2025.
Submit a proposal for a gallery exhibition by January 10 at midnight deadline for a chance to share your creative vision with an audience!
Ink People Center for the Arts’ 640 square foot exhibition space in the heart of the Eureka Cultural Arts District is dedicated to creating opportunities for local and regional artists. Our curatorial perspective prioritizes creativity, collaboration, accessibility, and contemporary relevance.
Our gallery theme for 2025 is "Change and Exchange." We invite proposals that connect to these themes in innovative and engaging ways. Brenda Tuxford Gallery and the Ink People seek to elevate original perspectives by local artists, scientists, activists, culture bearers and creative professionals on topics that touch local lives.
Application review will be conducted on January 15 by a panel of Ink People staff and local arts and culture leaders. Proposal authors will be contacted on January 17 after proposal selection is complete. Please contact gallery@inkpeople.org with questions or requests for additional information.
Note: At this time, we are only able to accept applications for February through June, but we will be planning as soon as possible for the latter half of the year. Applications for this round may be considered for July-December 2025 if not accepted for February-June.
