About the show.

Who is running this thing?
This exhibit is organized by the Rome Art Association, a non-profit organization that has provided opportunities for artists in CNY since 1958.

Why now?
Rome, particularly downtown, is on the rise. We recently moved to this part of the city because we believe in the institutions that are here. After the adversities that we have all faced recently, 2021 seems like the perfect time to revive this exhibit and showcase the phenomenal artists in our region.

Is it juried?
Yes, it is. We offer many un-juried community shows throughout the year but this one receives significantly more entries, forcing us to select only the most accomplished pieces.

Take pride in your art and help grow the region.

The venue.

We are creating a pop-up gallery in a vacant storefront in the downtown arts district. This allows us to transform a previously empty space and use it to its full potential. We've done this for past shows. It creates intrigue and makes a splash, drawing more attention to the art.

The show will run from June-July. More specific dates, such as the submission deadline, drop-off and reception are available on the application. We will also be launching a virtual gallery on this website to reach all of the potential viewers who cannot attend in person.

You are good enough.

Every artist doubts themselves. All you can do is try.
