2019 Gallery Call
At Ross Creek , we approach each season's shows as a way of examining a theme or our world through a variety of lenses. We begin with a concept and ask submitting artists to propose a show which takes the word and examines it in their own individual way (or through a group show). We welcome submissions from professionally established artists and craftspeople with a distinct concept for a show based on this theme within our space and in our community. Please note that we also welcome (and encourage) shows where the artist can do a residency at Ross Creek before or during the exhibit, and ask that you consider our audiences (multi-generational) when making your submission.
