How to Submit
Expressions of interest are welcome on a rolling basis. Artists are invited to complete the online submission form, providing details about their practice and links to examples of their work.
Selection and Support
Submissions are reviewed regularly by VISUAL's curatorial team. Artists whose work is identified for potential exhibition will be contacted directly.
Exhibitions are selected based on the quality and feasibility of the proposed work, as well as its thematic links with VISUAL's wider artistic programme.
The Theatre Gallery forms part of VISUAL's annual Exhibition Programme, presented across three seasons. Selected artists receive an exhibition fee, alongside technical and curatorial support to help realise their projects.
We look forward to hearing from artists across Carlow and those with a connection to the county, and discovering new work, ideas and perspectives to share with our audiences.
