DEADLINE January 31, 2026 at midnight EST.
WELCOME! This is the application form for Exhibition Opportunities at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in 2027. DVAA's Visual Arts program includes solo, two-person, group, and curated exhibitions. In addition, DVAA produces pop-up exhibitions, and hosts artist talks, and related programs throughout the year. The exhibition program features high-quality work by emerging and professional artists with an emphasis on those who live and work full or part-time in the Mid-Hudson, Catskill, or Upper Delaware River Regions. All media and styles are welcome as are installations and proposals by curators.
About DVAA's Galleries DVAA's galleries are located at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance at 37 Main Street Narrowsburg NY, approximately 2 hours from NYC. Open year-round, DVAA hosts over a dozen exhibitions annually and is free and open to the public, Thursday - Saturday, 11 am - 4 pm & by appointment.
The Alliance Gallery is located on DVAA's first floor. It measures 340 square feet and features 104 linear feet of wall space (including hallway space) with 9-foot high ceilings.
The Loft Gallery, located on the second floor, is handicapped accessible. The Loft Gallery is 710 square feet and features 100 linear feet of wall space. The ceiling height in the loft gallery ranges from 7 feet to 8 feet 10 inches.
DVAA's exhibitions and related programs are supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, with support from the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Selection Process
- Each year following an open call for entries, DVAA convenes a jury of three to five visual arts professionals to select the exhibitions for the following year.
- DVAA facilitates a "blind-jurying process" meaning that all applicants are represented by a number and their names are withheld.
- Jurying is based solely on the projected images of artwork, so it's important to submit consistent, high-quality images.
- DVAA assembles a new panel of jurors each year, so artists are strongly encouraged to re-apply if their work is not selected.
Restrictions
- Artists who have previously received solo exhibitions may reapply after 5 years. (E.g. if you received a solo show in 2022, you are eligible may apply for a show in 2027).
- DVAA primarily focuses on presenting the work of artists in our region, this includes the Sullivan Catskills, Upper Delaware Valley, and Mid-Hudson Region. Additionally, we welcome submissions from artists in the New York Metro, Phili-Metro, and Northern New Jersey region. Special consideration will be made for entries by artists outside of those areas whose work addresses regional topics including social, historical, communal, and environmental concerns relevant to the Sullivan Catskills and Upper Delaware Valley.
- For curated or juried exhibition proposals, individuals serving in the role of curator/juror may not include themselves or direct relations in proposed exhibitions.
Notification DVAA will notify applicants via email by April 30, 2026.
Questions Call (845) 252-7576 or email DVAA's Gallery Manager, Tanner Simon at gallery@delawarevalleyartsalliance.org
