The application period for the Fall 2022 & Spring 2023 Solo Exhibition Awards is now closed.
2022/2023 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.

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