Are you an individual artist?
Artists who live or work in Pima County are encouraged to submit an application to exhibit when the library extends its Call to Artists. The Main Library welcomes more than 40,000 visitors each month – this level of visibility is unheard of in a regular art gallery. The space is incredibly visible to a vibrant and growing downtown community.
We will announce on our website when we are taking submissions. Log into our Submittable website during that time to apply. We are looking for all types of media. If you don’t already have a Submittable account, a valid email address is required to sign up.
Artists will be asked to submit up to five images of their work (not necessarily the pieces they will show) and an artist statement. Images can be in JPG, TIFF, or PNG format.
Artists may be contacted to show their work at other libraries with gallery spaces, as well.
Are you a member of an arts organization, guild, or nonprofit?
We have additional gallery spaces for two and three dimensional work that may be available. Please contact Wayne Wheeler at wayne.wheeler@pima.gov or Toby Wehner at toby.wehner@pima.gov any time during the year to learn more.
