Proposals
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
- Work samples – selection of images relevant to the proposal. Links to images hosted by Google Drive and/or DropBox are accepted as well.
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.
