Painters invited to apply for solo exhibitions Lightner Museum

With support from the Benjamin and Jean Troemel Arts Foundation, the Lightner Museum announces the second year of Lightner Local. Created to showcase the talents of artists who live in the Northeast and Central Florida regions, four artists will be awarded solo exhibitions at the museum.  

Painters in Northeast and Central Florida are invited to apply for the exhibitions to be displayed in the museum’s East Room Gallery. The gallery space includes approximately 90 feet of linear wall space for hanging artwork.

The Lightner will host four separate exhibitions, one each in April, July, August and October. Each exhibition will be on display for approximately six weeks. 

Selected artists will receive the following:

• In-person solo exhibition at the Lightner Museum in the East Room Gallery
• Promotion via the museum’s website, lightnermuseum.org
• Press outreach
• Social media outreach
• Exhibition opening during First Friday Art Walk
• $1,000 honorarium

Lightner Museum staff will work directly with the selected artists to produce the exhibitions and will promote it through print and online media. Artists who submit a proposal may also be considered for future opportunities with the Lightner Museum, such as art fairs, group shows and online solo shows. Submission deadline is March 1.
