2027 Hoffman Gallery Submission

Thank you for your interest in showing in the Hoffman Gallery. We are a non-profit art center in Manzanita, Oregon, that offers a variety of arts events, classes, and programming. Our gallery is open 4 days a week, staffed by volunteers, and we offer new shows monthly and year-round. 

Do you have any questions, accommodation requests, or need translation services? We are happy to assist you. Please contact: artgallery@hoffmanarts.org. Application sample and requirements: 

• 5-6 sample pieces, high quality digital images. 
• Work should not have been previously exhibited at the Hoffman Center or included in a Hoffman publication.
• Please show us recent work (within the last 4 years). 
• You may not have been featured in the gallery within the prior two years (it is okay to have participated in group shows).
• Please note our gallery is just shy of 400 square ft, so very large work can sometimes pose a challenge. 
• We support work from emerging as well as established artists.
• We are not accepting applications from galleries at this time.
• We are not accepting AI-generated work.

Selection process:

Each year, the Hoffman Center for the Arts identifies a rotating curatorial committee, made up of curators, artists, and community members. 

• The curatorial committee evaluates work based on artistic strength and originality. 
• We typically pair two 2-D artists with one 3-D artist during the month long exhibition.
• Strong consideration is given to artists with a demonstrable interest in, or connection to, the north Oregon Coast. 
• The curatorial committee will also create a waitlist to be used in case any selected artists are not available.   

Artists will be notified by the end of November about the status of their application.
