The KZNSA has a selection committee, elected by KZNSA Council, that
meets to review works submitted for possible exhibition at the gallery.
The selection committee reviews applications that are submitted within
the open call dates: May 1 to July 30, 2019.
Group or Solo Exhibitions are welcome. Curators are encouraged to apply,
as are galleries or other art institutions.
“If your work is selected, the selection committee will try to accommodate
your preferred date and space. Due to the high number of applications, we may
not be able to accommodate every applicant’s preferences, in which case we will
allocate (a) gallery space(s) and exhibition date(s). You are welcome to accept
these or not,” says a KZNSA spokesperson.
“Works submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed. The selection
committee’s decision is based on a majority vote and is final. Feedback
regarding acceptance or rejection of your proposal is given at the Director’s
discretion.
“Should your proposal for an exhibition be successful, a contract
between you and the KZNSA will be drawn up concerning this exhibition and you
will be sent to sign.
Successful applications will be announced no later than September 30, 2019.
