Application materials — including exhibition proposal, an optional or partial draft rendering, working programming outline, and budget — should take into consideration the following guidance on gallery and artwork specifications.
Gallery Specifications
To gain familiarity, CAH recommends visiting the gallery space in person and/or viewing gallery images and the virtual gallery as appropriate, to plan the exhibition design.
· Gallery is approximately 180 linear feet within a public building lobby.
· Artwork(s) must load in through the front entrance (site visit recommended to confirm accessibility).
· Artwork(s) greater than 100 lbs. will need CAH approval for load-bearing capacity (for walls and floor).
· Curator(s) must utilize the exhibition space in its current state. Requests for additional
construction or lighting are not allowed. Installation that would require extensive wall repair is not allowed; painting of walls will require review and approval.
Artwork
· Two- and three-dimensional works including, but not limited to:
o prints
o drawings
o mixed media
o paintings
o photographs
o ceramics
o video works
o sculptures
· Both pre-existing artworks and commissioned works for this exhibition are allowed as the curator(s) deem appropriate.
· All submitted works for the exhibition are subject to CAH approval.
Installation and Deinstallation
The curator is responsible for coordinating the exhibition installation and deinstallation by a professional art handler, installer and/or artist(s) (preferably licensed and insured). Curator must coordinate with CAH staff for access to the gallery for these activities.
· All artwork is required to have a label on the back or bottom with the artist name, artwork title, and contact information.
· For sculptural works that require pedestals, 
CAH can provide a list of available pedestals and vitrines for use during the duration of the exhibition. See Addendum B for more information. Beyond this inventory, it is the curator’s responsibility to provide plain white matte pedestal(s) of appropriate size with grant funds.
· CAH is not responsible for any loss, damage, or failure resulting from curator’s provided pedestals, or other apparatus used for the installation being unable to adequately support the artwork.
· Installation and de-installation must take place during office hours (Monday-Friday, 9 am- 5:30 pm).
· All installed artwork must be labeled with the artist name, artwork title, date, and medium.
