One River School of Art + Design Evanston, Call for 2024 Exhibition Proposals

One River School of Art + Design is on an ambitious plan to "transform art education" across America and we are seeking exhibition proposals from emerging artists for our gallery space in 2024.

Located in downtown Evanston, our school is in a high-traffic neighborhood and our gallery is the first thing visitors see upon entry.

Selection Process

All proposals will be reviewed by the One River School Evanston staff. A response to each person submitting a proposal will be emailed after the staff meets to review the proposals. As our school serves children from ages 3 and up, the artwork's content must be suitable for young audiences.

Artists must email evanston@oneriverschool.com with a portfolio of at least 10 images as well as an artist statement. No phone calls, please.
