Exhibition Proposals

 

Currently accepting Exhibition Proposals for the 2026-2027 school year.  

The Western Illinois University Art Gallery, located in Macomb, Illinois, presents a schedule of changing exhibitions throughout the academic year to introduce WIU students, faculty and staff, as well as the western Illinois region, to a variety of art forms in a wide range of mediums.  

We encourage visual artists to submit exhibition proposals for solo, two-person, and group exhibitions.

The University Art Gallery will provide accepted artists with a reasonable honorarium to assist with travel and shipping expenses depending on needs and circumstances.  

Your exhibition proposal must include:

• CV
• Artist statement
• Description of proposed exhibition
• 15-20 images labeled with title, size, date, and medium

 

For full consideration for the 2026-2027 schedule, please submit these materials as a single PDF file (no larger than 20MB) to: TA-Hennings@wiu.edu
