Nearly all exhibitions are initiated by curatorial staff, but occasionally outside exhibition proposals are accepted and implemented. To submit an exhibition proposal, please e-mail us at kaitlyn.morrison@ci.monroe.la.us.
Please include:
- A brief prospectus outlining the themes, goals, media, and scope of the exhibition
- CV and artist statement for any participating artists

Please note that most exhibitions are scheduled at least two years in advance and require several levels of approval from within the museum and board.
