Information for Prospective Members – 2011-2012 On October 31, 1969, a group of independent artists joined to form the Bowery Gallery. The gallery has been in continuous operation ever since, and is one of the oldest in New York City. The gallery is incorporated as a non-profit organization of representational and non-representational artists. Exhibitions at the Bowery Gallery have received notice in The New York Times, Arts, Art in America, Modern Painters, ARTnews, Artcritical.com, Vogue, The New Criterion, The New York Sun, The Observer and The New Republic. A national competition, sponsored by the gallery in August, has been juried by such notable artists as Nell Blaine, Louis Finkelstein, Lois Dodd, Rosemary Beck, Natalie Charkow, Jane Freilicher, Gabriel Laderman, Joan Snyder, Janet Fish, Wilbur Niewald, William Bailey, Bill Jensen, John Walker, Paul Resika and renowned art critic Jed Perl. The juror for 2010 was Rackstraw Downes. The Bowery Gallery is a co-operative gallery, wholly run by its artist members. Our mission is to exhibit work of the highest quality from independent artists. In the 2011-2012 season, dues for a full member are $150 per month for 12 months with an initial membership fee of $500. Everyone participates fully in the business of running the gallery; each member has at least one job, must gallery sit (paid sitters are available) and attend meetings. All members have solo exhibitions every 2-1/2 to 3 years and participate in occasional group shows. While members are responsible for the printing and mailing of announcements as well as refreshments for receptions, there are no commissions on sales. New members are selected in periodic reviews of applicants' original work, however slides and CDs will be previewed at our regularly scheduled meetings (Sept.-May). We are looking for working members who live within commuting distance (approx. 100 miles) and can participate regularly in the operation of the gallery, including attending meetings. Invitational slots in June and July are offered to artists from outside the area who reside in the U.S. Please note the gallery does not exhibit photography or digital art. This year we will be reviewing prospective new members' original work on Monday, October 10, 2011. If you are interested, please bring 3-5 original works, and other supportive material such as drawings (up to 10), resume, slides, CD, publicity material and any other relevant information to the Bowery Gallery between 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Monday, Oct. 10. We will review the work and it will be ready to be picked up at 8:00 that evening. We will notify you of any changes in time. Please address questions to info@bowerygallery.org or phone the gallery during business hours. Thank you for your interest in the Bowery Gallery. BOWERY GALLERY, 530 W. 25th St., 4 fl., NEW YORK, NY
