Submitting an Exhibition Proposal

Payne Gallery of Moravian University accepts exhibition proposals in Payne Gallery, H. Paty Eiffe Art Gallery, and The Collection Gallery. Exhibitions are scheduled throughout the semester and the galleries maintain scheduled operating hours.

A committee reviews the proposals biyearly. Notifications of acceptance will be sent via e-mail within six-eight weeks after the proposal is reviewed. Exhibitions calendars are usually scheduled at least two years in advance, and we may retain your submission for future opportunities. Only accepted artists/proposals will be notified. 

All accepted exhibition proposals are fully or partially funded through the Priscilla Payne Hurd Endowment. Including, but not limited to, artist/curator fees, transportation, installation costs, and marketing.
