Call for Artists
The Matthews Opera House and Arts Center is temporarily reopening their call for artists for their work to be displayed and sold in our gallery through the end of the year.
This reopening was spurred by a recent change in our artist contract which includes a reduced commission of 30%.
“Our number one priority has always been to support local artists,” said Heather Evans, gallery manager. “We are excited to have this reduction in our commission structure for the first time in several years and we hope this allows for even more area artists to be represented in our gallery.”
Applications are due before 5:00 p.m. MDT on Tuesday, Aug. 18th, 2020.
Applications may be submitted via email to [email protected]
