If you have been hoping to display and sell your artwork year-round at the ACWL-Nuveen, now is your chance!
The ACWL-Nuveen Gallery Committee is excited to announce a call for diverse artisans to show and sell artwork in our retail gallery. The ACWL-Nuveen is prominently located in historic downtown Whitehall, Michigan. Whitehall and its twin city Montague are vibrant small West Michigan towns with populations that triple in the summer months with tourists and summer residents who come to enjoy the cultural attractions and all of the natural beauty of White Lake and Lake Michigan. The ACWL-Nuveen has a steady annual retail business and showcases a range of unique art in our gallery with prices ranging from $20 - $500.
While we will review submissions of any medium from Michigan artists ages 18+, we are currently seeking artists creating original artwork in the following mediums:
· Printmaking
· Ceramics
· Fiber art
· Original, handcrafted jewelry
· 3-D art, including wood, glass, and metal work
The ACWL-Nuveen Gallery Committee encourages submissions from artists with diverse backgrounds. The committee will not discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, identity, or if you are differently-abled. We welcome all applications!
