The Westpark gallery space is best suited to medium-to-small artworks, such as paintings, drawings, prints, or sculptures smaller than 24”. While we welcome applications from artists working in all mediums, please note that large sculptural works or installation pieces may be more challenging to accommodate. This opportunity is free for Blue Line Artist Level members to apply!
