Navigating Opportunities: Open Calls & Approaching Galleries

Second Street Gallery’s Professional Practices for Artists program is a three-session series designed to support artists at various stages of their careers by providing practical tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate the professional art world.

The final session demystifies the application process and offers strategies for identifying and pursuing opportunities that align with an artist’s goals. Artists will gain insight into how galleries review submissions and how to approach institutions professionally and thoughtfully.

Topics include:

  • How to find and evaluate open calls and exhibition opportunities

  • Understanding submission requirements and selection criteria

  • Preparing strong application materials

  • Tips for researching and approaching galleries

  • Professional communication and follow-up strategies

  • Q&A and shared experiences

The workshop is available at $40 SSG members / $50 non-members. This program is designed for emerging and mid-career artists seeking to strengthen their professional practice, though artists at all stages are welcome.

This is an in-person workshop held at Second Street Gallery and will be lead by Kristen Chiacchia with CM Turner.
