About Solo Exhibits
The Art League seeks artists who have a strong, cohesive, and exciting body of work expressing an aesthetic concept for our prestigious solo artist exhibitions. Our aim, whether we exhibit experimental or traditional works, is to adhere to the highest standards of quality. While we seek beautifully executed work, we also value work that is innovative, artwork that presents the artist’s unique voice, and engages the viewer intellectually, emotionally, as well as visually.
Artist Qualifications
- Artist must be a current exhibiting artist member of The Art League.
- Artist cannot have had a solo exhibit at The Art League within the last five years.

2021 Application Process
Applications are reviewed two years ahead of time. Jurying for 2021 solo exhibits will take place on October 20, 2019.
There are two steps to jurying: applicants must first submit images of five works, a proposal, artist statement, and artist résumé online (deadline September 30, 2019.)
Second, all applicants must drop off their artwork for review. Final decisions will be made at this time.
Gallery staff will take notes on the discussion and all applicants will receive letters with the juror’s feedback, regardless of whether or not they are accepted for an exhibit (the time it takes to receive this feedback varies based on the number of entries).
