Practice Gallery is seeking new members!

APPLICATIONS DUE: SEPTEMBER 28

Our gallery seeks to support artistic practices that focus on performance, participation, and experimentation. Practice’s governing body is composed of a group of artists and art workers who produce or do not produce art works in a variety of mediums both physical and metaphysical. Current members include: Our current members include Jessica Beckwith (on hiatus), Boi Boy, Dave Hannon, Rich Hogan, Jerry Kaba, Brendan McCauley, Margaret Pezalla-Granlund, and Alfred Rosenbluth.

What it means to be a member:

  • Practice is a curatorial project. We do not show our own work, with the exception of our annual fundraising show. 

  • All shows are curated democratically. This means we periodically meet as a group to discuss ideas and review applications for exhibitions.  All members are encouraged to present ideas and artists that they feel strongly about. 

  • If the member's artist/idea is decided on, that member is the lead artist on the project. However the rest of the members will provide support to the lead member. 

  • Every member has a job (such as website editor, social media manager, facilities, treasurer, beer proprietor).  The members job is their responsibility each month in addition to any work as lead on a given project.  If a member needs any additional help with their job or project another member is always happy to help! 

  • We hold monthly meetings to discuss what needs to be done in the upcoming month. This is usually done over dinner or zoom and takes about an hour. 

  • About every seven months we have a longer meeting (Epic Meeting) to work on the exhibition schedule. This is usually done at a member's house accompanied by a potluck.

  • Members are expected to help out on First Fridays. 

  • Members are expected to gallery sit occasional Saturdays & Sundays from 2-6pm.  This usually ends up being once every other month. 

  • Member dues: We divide the rent and utilities by the number of members we have.  This is usually around $100 a month. 

  • If a member can secure any funding this number can be reduced! 

  • Members are encouraged to think outside the box. We are all excited for whatever interesting projects members come up with!
