More about our Juried Shows
GearBox Gallery Annual Juried Shows
The gallery hosts an annual call for entries for a juried show. Artists are invited to submit their work along a chosen theme with a notable juror selecting work for the exhibition in a blind jury process.
Typically the annual juried exhibition takes place in August/September with two prizes awarded. The Jurors Award Winner is invited to participate in a featured two person exhibition the following year and the GearBox Gallery Award winner is invited to show their work in a special exhibition in the Inner Room of the gallery.
Past jurors have included Jeremy Morgan, Jack Fischer, Nancy Toomey, and Auriel Garza, among others, with themes ranging from Sanctuary and My Back Yard to Bluets and Wild Mind.
