A TEMPORARY EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY IN A UNIQUE EXTERIOR-FACING GALLERY VITRINE
The Cerritos College Art Gallery is looking for seven (7) local artists interested in preparing and executing a temporary project/exhibition within the unique exterior-facing display gallery attached to the outside of the Fine Arts Building on the campus of Cerritos College. All work must be suitable for public display. Each mini solo-project/exhibition will run for just two weeks, with all installations taking place on Sundays and deinstallations on Saturdays.
Exhibition Dates Available (SPRING 2027):
- January 11th – January 24th
- January 25th – February 7th
- February 8th – February 21st
- February 22nd – March 7th
- March 8th – March 21st
- March 22nd – April 4th
- April 5th – April 18th
Selected artists will receive a $250 honorarium to help offset any material/transportation costs, as well as a copy of the self-published exhibition catalog, which will collate information and documentation from all seven projects.
The gallery is particularly interested in proposals for projects that dynamically activate the space in unexpected ways and/or with innovative installations, as opposed to just a selection of existing work hanging on the wall.
Example projects could include (but are not limited to):
- Kinetic Sculptures and/or Interactive Automatons
- Chromatic Lighting Displays
- Pastiches of Traditional Retail-based Window Signage/Merchandising
- Live Performances and/or Video Presentations
