Gallery 10 presents our First Annual Regional Exhibition

GOLDEN STATE: Exhibition March 1, 2024
REGIONAL SHOW: Northern California Residents Only
DEADLINE: February 9, 2024 11:59pm

A regional call for California artists in Northern California encompassing the following counties: Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Sutter, Yuba, Nevada, Sierra, Plumas and Butte.

About the Call:

Step into the mesmerizing world of Golden State, our first annual juried exhibition that embraces the multifaceted essence of California. We implore artists explore the rich themes of California’s golden landscapes (flora and fauna), the allure of its historical gold rush, golden sunsets and the radiant brilliance of the color itself through striking golden hues.

Further, embrace the limitless possibilities of artistic expression as Golden State beckons artists to explore the boundless interpretations of the term, extending beyond the geographical connotations to encompass the golden moments, emotions, and aspirations that shape our lives and transform our state of mind.

The piece that best captures the theme of the show will be awarded ‘Best of Show’ and receive a prize of $150.

NO FREIGHT SHIPPING PLEASE.

Artists must issue pre-paid return labels for their works through UPS or FedEx. We do not arrange shipping in any other manner. Works must have pre-paid return labels through FedEx or UPS to be returned which allows us to call for pick up as the Center’s insurance does not cover transporting work offsite to local shipping companies or the United States Postal Service, which is why the postal service is not an option for shipping. PLEASE MAKE YOUR RETURN LABEL IS EASY TO FIND UPON UNPACKING. Clearly indicate any packing directions for return of works

Works should be shipped in reusable containers/boxes and packaging  for return. 

We highly recommend (but do not require):
