GALLERY PROGRAM

The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission Gallery Program provides visual arts experiences in public locations that are central to everyday life. This ongoing series of free public exhibitions showcase the artistic and cultural resources of the region.

All aspects of the Gallery Program are administered by the SMAC staff under the guidance of the Visual Arts Committee, a standing committee comprised of regional arts professionals, members of the community, and the Arts Commission.

The Gallery Program:

• Provides opportunities for local and regional artists at all career levels to exhibit their artwork in high profile, public venues.
• Provides artists, curators and others with an interest in producing exhibitions the opportunity to present their ideas to the public and to hone their gallery management, production, and curatorial skills.
• Meets the public goal of enhancing the quality of life for visitors and residents.
• Supports SMAC’s efforts for community inclusion and diversity.

Exhibition Proposals
Exhibitions are solicited through a public call for artists and exhibition proposals and reviewed by the Visual Arts Committee (VAC) each February. The VAC reviews applications and staff recommendations for exhibitions, and then decides the schedule of shows for each venue.

Proposals may be submitted throughout the year, but will only be reviewed by the VAC each February. For more information on each venue, and how to apply, please see the Gallery Guidelines.
