Exhibition Selection Process
The Wilma W. Daniels Gallery staff will review the proposals for all the completed
submissions, using the following criteria, but not limited to:

- Community values: Whether the artwork is appropriate for the local and college
community - Safety considerations: Whether the artwork is safe for the intended location and
audience - Educational and professional background: The artist’s educational and

The Exhibition
Artists will be responsible for transportation of work, hanging and dismantling the exhibition under the supervision of the Wilma Daniels Gallery staff. Artwork must be removed from the premises by the artist or their representative at the agreed upon time. The Gallery is not responsible for work left on the premises after that time.
Sale of Work
A commission of 20% on all non-Cape Fear Community College student work sold will be levied by the Gallery.
Application
Please keep in mind that the Gallery’s exhibition calendar is planned a year in advance. However, the Gallery is always interested in reviewing proposals for exhibitions. All submissions will be carefully reviewed.
