Gallery Route One (CA), Call for for San Francisco Bay Area Applicants: Fellowship for Young Artists (Ages 21 – 35)

Deadline to apply:  October 1st, 2013

Gallery Route One (GRO) invites artists ages 21 to 31 to apply for an 18-month fellowship. Open to artists living in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, working in all fine art media; no crafts.
This is an opportunity to become involved in the life of a working gallery and to exhibit new work in two solo exhibitions and one or more group exhibitions at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station, Marin County, California.
The artist will have a solo exhibition in the small Annex Gallery within the first nine months of receiving the fellowship, and a solo exhibition in the large Center Gallery at the end of the eighteen-month Fellowship period. During the Fellowship period Fellows will be offered space in artist member group shows, GRO’s annual Box Show, the small works gallery, and any external exhibitions offered to gallery artists. Fellows will also be represented on our website. There is no fee for the Fellowship or Fellows’ exhibitions, but Fellows are required to serve as gallery attendants, once per month or less, and must cover their portion of the costs for printing and mailing the gallery announcement for their solo exhibition in the Center Gallery. Fellows are expected to host the reception for their solo exhibition. Fellows will receive a $500 stipend to defray Fellowship-related expenses.
