A $25.00 handling fee is required for all proposals

Established professional artists are encouraged to submit a proposal to exhibit in the Cabrillo Gallery. The gallery hosts six exhibitions a year, three during the fall semester and three in the spring. Of these, three are fully curated exhibitions that may include artists seeking exhibitions at the gallery. We review proposals at the end of the spring and fall semesters. Please note that the Cabrillo Gallery usually fills its calendar one to two years in advance.
