Welcome to the 6th Edition of the Greater Cincinnati Exhibition Opportunities Guide published by the Weston Art Gallery.
The EOG 2020 is a veritable encyclopedia of venues and contact information for Cincinnati-area artists seeking a first show or continuing an established exhibition record.
With 157 listings, the EOG 2020 is not only a directory of places to show work locally and regionally, it is also a source for Cincinnati’s vibrant arts scene.
So don’t miss out on your opportunities: Get going and participate!

Artist Tips
Before applying, visit some of the listings in this guide to determine which venues are the best match for you. Alternative spaces are a good place to begin. Most commercial galleries expect an established body of work and an exhibition history before representing an artist.
Contact venues first to ask about selection procedures: Do not expect anyone to review your work without an appointment. Most venues review digital images or printouts first. If there is interest, a studio visit might be requested.
When sending your proposal: For electronic entries, request the proper digital format in advance. Label each submission in your e-mail or jumpdrive with your name, title, date, media, and dimensions. If sending a physical copy of your proposal, include a self-addressed stamped envelope to ensure the return of your materials, or assume they will be discarded. Track responses and returns to better strategize your efforts.
Feel free to ask: Is there a fee for applying and/or for use of the space? Who will install the work—you or their staff? Are there security measures, climate control, insurance coverage, etc.? Do they offer honorariums or can they assist with the budget? When can you expect a reply or return of your materials?
And finally, rejection is a routine part of the application process. Don’t get discouraged. Acceptances and rejections are based on a wide range of criteria upon which you have little to no control.
Did we miss you? The Cincinnati arts scene is constantly evolving, so please help us stay up-to-date. If your organization would like to be added to this guide, or if you have revisions to a current entry, please e-mail [email protected] with the update. Thank you!
