Introduction

In addition to juried group shows, WMG presents invitational group and solo shows. In these exhibitions artists have the opportunity to exhibit a more comprehensive body of work than is possible in the juried group exhibitions. These exhibits give our audience a more in-depth look into the work of individual artists.

• Archived Solo / Invitational Shows

Solo show artists are selected by invitation only. WMG does not accept unsolicited proposals but selects solo show artists from a large pool of individuals whose work is already well-known to the Gallery Directors. Usually, the artist is a current member of the gallery, has been previously accepted into WMG group exhibitions, has been involved in other gallery functions such as jurying a show or volunteering, and/or is part of the online registry. The criteria for inclusion is:

• a consistent body of quality work
• a strong content, feminist orientation
• how the work in the solo show complements the group show planned for the same time period
• professional activities as an artist
• professional attitude

The fee for a four to six week solo/invitational exhibition is $500. This fee includes placing all images of included artworks on the solo/invitational show webpage. Solo/invitational show artists are responsible for printing their own invitations and sending them to their personal mailing list. WMG includes invited artists in e-newsletters, writes and sends in press releases to art critics and local newspapers, radio and television stations, and includes these artists in our own marketing materials, such as our newsletter and group show postcard.
