Booking Art Shows at Split Gallery

Exhibiting at Split Gallery is simple: Just sign up and we’ll help you through the rest. Any artist who wants to show at Split Gallery is welcome.

How It Works

We operate kind of like an AirBNB. Artists pay a flat fee for reserving the gallery and any additional services they want. Split works with artists like partners in the process of planning and executing a show. Any artist is welcome to exhibit at Split. Fees vary depending on selected services.

What It Costs

The base fee for a one-week reservation (Tues – Sun) is $750.
(We are currently discounting our standard rate due to COVID. Shows booked through 12/31/2021 are just $500 even if the event date is in 2022.)

We’ll help you with planning and explain our approach versus the traditional gallery relationship and the advantages/disadvantages to each. If you’re not sure whether it’s worth it to pay for having an art show, we totally understand. It is a risk, but in our opinion, it’s an easy obstacle to overcome. Read our blog post on whether it makes sense to pay up front to have an art show.

What You Get

Exhibiting at Split Gallery is designed to be as easy and advantageous as possible for the Artists. Split helps with planning and scheduling, provides everything you need to put on a great show, and promotes the event online and via email to our lists and followers. We also help the artists learn how they can help promote the event as well. By combining our respective audiences, we’re able to reach more people than the artist or gallery alone can.
