Any artist interested in either a solo/group show or even an installation should contact the curator of a micro gallery to see about exhibiting. While some do not exhibit art from other artists – they only show their own art or that of family members – many are looking for artists to exhibit. Check the Gallery page for that information as well as how to contact the curator. Even so, there are a number of galleries that have scheduled exhibits several months in advance, so be patient.
And in most exhibits, the art work is for sale. Information as to pricing and payment is typically done through the artist, though the gallery owner is a good place to inquire.
Since the galleries are off a public sidewalk, any exhibit should be reflective of the potential audience. Art that contains nudity, pornography, violence, hate, overt political statements, etc. will typically not be accepted.
With that in mind, and the size constraints of the interior wall’s dimensions being 14″ x 15″ x 15″ (HWD), pretty much any art is acceptable – installations, paintings, digital, photographic, sculptures, water colors, drawings, mixed-media, etc..
Temperatures inside the galleries can get a bit high – think 100+ during the summer – and that the sun can potentially cause colors to fade. So, use of UV protection is advised as well as avoiding materials that might melt or crack due to the heat.
Dimensions
With white inserted walls (use of screws, nails, or Command strips to hang art, or for free standing)
Back wall – 15 wide x 13 1/4 tall
Side walls – 15 wide x 13 1/4 tall

Any combination of sides, back, and floor are possible. Use of foam core boards is also a possibility, though these are the responsibility of the artist(s).
Note: the walls are held in place with small magnets meaning that lighter is better with respect to what one is going to hang. You can though use Command strips between the walls and interior sides to help hold the walls in place if need be.
As a plain wood shell – no white inserted walls (use of Command hooks only to hang art or for free standing art)
Back wall – 16 wide x 14 tall
Side walls – 15 ½ wide x 14 tall
