MAEP Exhibition Proposals

From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program

Exhibition proposals may be submitted at any time. The Artist Panel meets every four to six weeks (or as needed) to review proposals. Artists may submit as individuals, or as a group.

Proposals should include the following:

  • An explanation of the nature of each artist's work
  • A statement describing the intention and focus of the proposed exhibition
  • A résumé of each participating artist
  • Visual documentation (slides, jpegs or dvd) of each artist's work
    • Digital images should be 72 dpi jpegs no larger than 1000 x 800 pixels
    • Do not submit slides in glass mounts or fixed with adhesive labels
    • Links to Web sites are not accepted as work samples
  • An image list that includes (for each image) the name of the artist and the title, date, media, and dimensions of the work

Artists who are unable to meet these guidelines should contact the MAEP at (612) 870-3125 or at maep_info@artsmia.org.

Mail Proposals to

MAEP
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts
2400 Third Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55404

Proposal Acceptance Guidelines

Proposals are accepted throughout the year. It is not uncommon for the panel to defer decisions until subsequent meetings. The MAEP Program Coordinator will contact proposing artists as soon as a decision regarding acceptance or rejection is made.

Artists are cautioned against using friendship as a reason for defining an exhibition group. The Artist Panel will not redefine a proposed exhibition group.

Proposals need not be confined to the gallery space at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Specific questions concerning the preparation of exhibition proposals may be directed to the MAEP at (612) 870-3125 or maep_info@artsmia.org.

It should be noted that neither the Program Coordinator nor the Program Associate takes part in the selection process; they only present materials prepared by the applicants.
