Call for Artists 

Durham Arts Council offers exhibition and performance opportunities on an annually recurring basis, as well as occasional one-time-only artist calls.

Call for Artists

Solo Exhibitions

The DAC Annual Call for Artists opens annually in November, with an application deadline of January 31. Apply during this window to be considered for a solo exhibit in one of four gallery spaces programmed by the Durham Arts Council.

Propose An Exhibit

If you wish to propose an exhibit other than a solo show (for example; a show that includes the work of several artists, a show based on a theme, a group or association show), you will need to fill out an alternate application. You will find the special proposal application here. This application is also due by January 31, at 9pm.
