Exhibition Inquiries at the Dennos
The Exhibitions Advisory Committee, comprised of NMC faculty, staff, and community partners, meets up to three times per year to review exhibition proposals with Dennos Museum Center curatorial staff. Like most museum programs, the Dennos creates its exhibition schedule approximately two years in advance.
Although the majority of artists selected for exhibition are invited by Dennos curatorial staff, artists may elect to submit materials for consideration.
Rolling Submissions
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and will be considered during the next scheduled exhibits committee meeting. Due to the volume of proposals received, we may not be able to send feedback or a response to all submissions.
Funding
Artist Compensation at the Dennos Museum Center
The Dennos Museum Center is committed to fair and transparent compensation for artists and recognizes artist labor as essential professional work. We follow W.A.G.E.–aligned minimum artist fee standards, scaled to the size of our institution, and apply these standards consistently across exhibitions and programs. Artist fees are determined by exhibition type and number of participating artists and are paid as flat, project-based honoraria rather than tied to exhibition duration. We strive to budget above minimums whenever possible and to communicate clearly with artists about compensation from the outset of each project.
Submission Guidelines
Please include the following materials in your electronic submission. HARD COPY AND INCOMPLETE DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED BY THE COMMITTEE.
- Current artist’s statement in PDF format
- Current CV in PDF format
- 5-10 JPEG images organized in a single PDF file along with caption information
