The Blue Sage Gallery is open to all member artists. Exhibits are themed on two-month cycles, with the themes being chosen by the Gallery Committee in conjunction with the Executive Director (if you have an idea for an exhibit, be sure to let us know!). Opening dates are scheduled to coincide with District 81428 Final Friday Artwalks where possible.
Artwork for exhibits is submitted by artists two weeks before the exhibit opening, and is then screened by the Gallery Committee for adherance to the exhibit theme, quality, and saleability (a detailed list of the screening criteria is included in the Submission Guidelines and Information Form). If you are interested in submitting art to an exhibit, please review our Submission Guidelines and Information Form, and bring your completed Submission Form with your art work. Both forms are downloadable here:
