How to Apply

A vacancy at Gallery on Lincoln becomes available only when an artist leaves but we accept applications at any time. Applications are kept on file. Our year runs from March 1st to February 28th. By November 15 we know if there will be a vacancy the following year.

If there is a vacancy, the applications are assessed by all gallery members and a final decision is made through a voting process. A formal invitation is then extended to the prospective artist.

Before applying, please take a few minutes to read our additional information for artists.
