The Brookings Arts Council seeks proposals for individual or group art shows for the calendar year 2027. Proposals from independent artists and proposals for curated group and/or themed exhibitions containing original artwork are welcome. All proposals will be reviewed by the BAC Exhibition Committee, whose decisions will be final.
We ask that artists be living or working in South Dakota or within a 150-mile radius of Brookings.
The BAC is home to two galleries; the priority for a show is to fill the larger gallery, therefore, it is acceptable if artists do not have sufficient works to fill both. In such a case, we may offer a complementary artist the space during the same run, or close off the gallery for other projects. Proposals will be accepted until March 1st, 2026. Selected applicants will be contacted in early April and will be given a list of 2027 show dates to choose from. All proposals must include a list of materials that can be found on our website. Please e-mail completed exhibition proposals to rfunk@brookingsartscouncil.org
