WORK-SPACE Loop Gallery
Manchester, CT
Opportunity to mount FREE solo show: WORK_SPACE is looking for artists to fill the Loop Gallery. They have a full schedule of exhibits for 2024 in the Main Gallery, but there are openings for displaying in the Loop Gallery. There is plenty of traffic through the Loop – meeting spaces for a variety of activities all enter via the Loop, and visitors to the Main Gallery generally take in the Loop, as well. If you are interested in hanging your work, contact WORK-SPACE for the details (860-647-6029). There is no charge to exhibit, but WORK_SPACE takes a commission on all sales, which you will want to figure into your pricing.
The Galleries at WORK_SPACE artist videos
Workspace started a library of artist videos (5-8 minutes) on YouTube that they share via social media every Friday at noon. All artists are invited to participate. These videos be anything related to art, the artistic process, and/or the impact art has on artists individually and collectively. Artists can create their own video, or Workspace can conduct and record a Zoom call where the artist is interviewed about their work. Their goal is to showcase artistic friends and spark creativity in their audience. If interested, you can email the gallery for details. See the flyer. Enjoy the past videos!
