Frequently Asked Questions
“How can I exhibit my artwork in the gallery?”
If you would like to exhibit your work monthly in the Arts Council gallery space, please apply to join the Visual Arts Cooperative. This is a juried process, so please expect a response no earlier than 4-6 weeks after your submission.
If you are looking for opportunities to show your work in juried exhibitions in Cape Girardeau or surrounding communities, please check our website for open calls.
If you would like your contact information to be added to a database for potential solo exhibitions, please fill out the form below. Your information will be shared with local galleries, businesses, or organizations who would like to feature artwork in their space.
“How do I get involved?”
“How do I know what the organization is up to?”
The easiest way to follow along with our organization is to follow us on social media and subscribe to Artspeak, our monthly newsletter!
“Are you hiring?”
Our staff consists of two employees, so we are rarely hiring. We do not take applications unless a job is immediately available, which will be announced on our website and social media.
If you are interested in an internship, please email our Director. Serious inquiries only, we will not respond to vague or incomplete requests.
We suggest you volunteer with our organization if you are interested in working with us. This is a great way to see what we do firsthand and create relationships within our community!
“How do I apply to be a vendor for the Arts & Crafts Extravaganza?”
Information about the Annual Arts & Crafts Extravaganza can be found here. Please read the FAQs and guides thoroughly, as all pertinent information can be found there. Sign up links will only be active when we are accepting applications for the current year.
“I found this painting at a garage sale, can you tell me how much its worth?”
No, are not qualified to asses any artwork. This is called appraising and you actually have to have a license to do so! While we can’t tell you how much it’s worth we do have some friends who can.
