Solo Exhibitions

The application period for the Fall 2019 & Spring 2020 Solo Exhibition Awards has now closed.

2019/2020 Solo Show Awards - Supporting Emerging Artists

By initiating an entirely new, expansive program, we will assist emerging artists as they grow professionally and explore their media. Through a juried process, artists will be chosen for solo exhibitions that provide them with increased gallery experience and promotion. The Peeler Peacock takes this a step further by arranging a structured mentorship between the emerging artist and an experienced artist that includes vital critique and support. Finally, the program provides a stipend to the artist to offset production costs, and an honorarium to the mentors in gratitude for their time. The Peeler Peacock will serve as a primary venue of artistic and professional growth for emerging artists in the Southern Finger Lakes.

Application Guidelines

Two solo shows will be awarded. Each award includes Solo Exhibition in The Peeler Peacock Gallery, pairing with a mentoring artist for support and critique, a $500 stipend to help offset production fees, promotion and marketing, and opening reception events. Please read the guidelines here:
