The Cerulean Arts Collective was established to better serve our artists that wished to exhibit more frequently.  With our 2017 expansion, the six gallery spaces in the new building are reserved for Collective members.  Each member of the Collective is included in a group exhibition year-round plus is featured in a solo exhibition every 15 months.

Submission for the 2024/2025 season of the Cerulean Arts Collective is now closed and we are no longer accepting applications.  Should there be any availability next year, we will post a new call sometime in May 2025.
