Emory Visual Arts Gallery

The Emory Visual Arts Gallery is first and foremost a place where innovative and unfamiliar work will be shown for the benefit of Emory University and the larger Atlanta community. We are particularly interested in showing international and new media artists who may not be familiar to a regional audience. The Emory Visual Arts Gallery also has regular faculty and student shows as well as cooperative exhibitions with regional and national institutions.

Gallery Hours (September - May):
Monday - Friday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm / Saturday, 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm
Also open by appointment.
Closed on major Federal holidays.
Visit the Events and Exhibits page for Summer hours.

Gallery Submission Policy: The Emory Visual Arts Gallery has an open submission policy. The Gallery Curatorial Committee meets twice during the fall semseter, typically in September and November, and twice during the spring semester, typically in January and March, to review proposals. The gallery's calendar is scheduled a minimum of one year in advance.

There are no formal guidelines for proposals. A suggested format is a brief overview of the content of the exhibition and how the space will be utilized (see floorplan below), accompanied by the artist's CV and some visuals. Keep in mind that the submission will be passed around at a meeting, so proposals that are visually impressive and capture the committee's attention right away have the best chance. CDs and DVDs are accepted (no slides please), but printed images are highly recommended.

The gallery has a track lighting system and a skylight. There are 4 optional moveable wall panels: both sides of each wall can be used, and each side has a useable space of approximately 94 inches wide x 86 inches tall. To accommodate video installations, the space can be completely darkened by closing the swinging door and covering the skylight.
