SUBMISSIONS Rush Arts Gallery and Corridor Gallery


Rush Gallery and Corridor Gallery exhibition programs seeks to facilitate a contemporary dialogue between new audiences and emerging artists, curators and writers through thematically structured group exhibitions.  A team of artists and curators reviews submissions annually. 

In the past few years we have had solo exhibitions of Allison Janae Hamilton, Sophia Dawson, Johnny Mattei, Sylvia Maier, Jason Florio, Christina Massey and Maureen Kelleher at the Corridor Gallery Project Space all found through our gallery submissions.  Artists have also been included in our group exhibitions throughout the year.  Most recently Signs of Life was guest curated by Richard Burroughs with Gallery Director Charlotte Mouquin and inspired from the 2013 gallery submissions.

 
The gallery offers an excellent opportunity for independent curators to realize their projects in an established venue that makes innovative contributions to the contemporary art world.   Throughout the season we also work with guest curators.  Currently at Corridor Gallery Dreaming Reality was guet curated by Sabrina Y Smith.  Coming up in Spring 2014 Breathless will be guest curated by Kristen Sancken and The House of the Nobleman at Rush Arts Gallery Feb. 27th - April 11th 2014.
