Opportunities for Artists

Annual Juried Show

MOMENTUM, Juror Demetri Broxton
August 20 - September 19, 2026

Entry Deadline June 21, 2026

This call is open NOW!

Momentum: The impetus and driving force gained by the development of a process or course of events.

Momentum seeks to capture a moment in the evolving landscape of the Northern California Art Scene. It encourages all eligible artists to contribute to this unique snapshot of the broader artistic community. Momentum invites diverse artistic perspectives and encourages all genres and media.

Open to Northern Californian Artists (Fresno and North), over the age of 21. We ask that all work must be completed within the last four years.

Momentum will be juried by Demetri Broxton, executive director of Root Division in San Francisco, independent curator and artist.

A GearBox Gallery juried show is more than just a group exhibition. Two artists will be awarded future exhibition opportunities; one as a featured artist in a two-person show in our Main Gallery, the other, a solo exhibition/installation in our smaller Inner Room Gallery. Artists in our juried shows are also added to our roster of regional artists and may be selected as guest artists for future exhibitions, aiding the artist's trajectory.

All entries will be conducted through the artist platform CaFÉ, link below:
