Description

The Carrollton Center for the Arts invites visual artists from the southeastern region of the United States to submit exhibition proposals for consideration for the upcoming gallery season. The Roush Gallery (approximately 1192 square feet) is housed within the center located in the historic downtown area of Carrollton, Georgia, an hour west of Atlanta. Our facility regularly services 60,000 patrons annually and hosts the annual Arts Festival of Carrollton which draws 5,000 guests to our venue. The Roush Gallery offers state of the art LED lighting and technology capable of effectively presenting a wide array of media. Solo exhibits, two-man shows, collaborations, installation proposals and group exhibitions are welcome to apply. The center also houses the Galleria, a multi-function corridor gallery that hosts both professional and emerging artists. Marketing, exhibit installation by trained staff and a formal reception are included for most featured exhibits.
