Library invites art submissions

Austin Central Library would like to see proposals from “artists, collectives, curators and beyond” to exhibit their work in the library’s gallery from January 2024 to September 2024. The gallery’s mission, according to the announcement, is “to support local artists and art communities, raise awareness of contemporary and diverse forms of art, and to provide exhibitions in which a wide variety of identities and interests are represented.” The artwork will be juried by “local artists, curators, educators, and community leaders through a jury-scoring process” and the selected candidates will be announced in early March. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Artists must be Texas residents. Find a few more details about the open call here and apply here.
