Exhibition Proposals
San Mateo County non-profits, arts collectives, and individuals are welcome to submit exhibition proposals for specific Center for Creativity galleries.
The Center for Creativity has experienced artists and curators to assist inexperienced artists, emerging artists, and professional artists with realizing their ideas.
For the Sequoia Gallery
The Sequoia Gallery includes the hotel’s rotunda, hallway, and stairway walls. This gallery is for arts collectives and curated themed exhibitions with a recommended 8 to 18 participating artists. All works must be framed and wired on the back. Curation is with the Center for Creativity curator.
For the Eureka Studio Gallery
The Eureka Studio Gallery is the long wall in the Eureka Studio. The wall measures 31′ feet long x 8′ tall. This gallery is for curated exhibitions of framed wall works. The gallery can show approximately 10–15 medium sized works well. Proposals from San Mateo County Arts collectives are welcome.
For the Safe Box Gallery
The Safe Box Gallery hosts invitational installations in the hotel’s historic safe. This is where hotel visitors entrusted their valuables for safekeeping.
The interior of this gallery is 20″ wide x 27″ tall x 11″ deep with 11 compartments. The wood compartment structure cannot be removed.
Proposals for this gallery are encouraged to be audience participatory in that CfC visitors may inspect the contents.
For the Phone Booth Gallery
The Phone Booth Gallery hosts installations in the former hotel lobby phone booth. This traditional style phone booth measures 57″ long x 34″ wide x 84″ tall with the ceiling sloping above a built in shelf that formerly contained a telephone. It has a full size door (with windows) and a small window inside. There is an electrical outlet in the gallery.
Proposals for this gallery are encouraged to be immersive in that CfC visitors may have an experience.
All media is welcomed including 2d & 3d visual art, sound art, and motion art such as video and animation.
Artists are required to return the space back to undamaged clean white walls (for the next artist). White latex paint is provided for repainting of the gallery.
For the Community Gallery Wall
The Community Gallery Wall is great for community groups making and looking to exhibit two-dimensional art. Works may be shown framed or unframed. Exhibitions are curated from within the proposed community.
