Two Ways to Get Featured on Marea Gallery – Beyond the Open Call
Most artists know Marea Gallery through our themed open calls: one piece per artist, selected by the curator, featured in a group exhibition. That format works well for what it is. But it is not the only way to get featured on Marea Gallery, and for some artists, it is not the most suitable one.
Here are two other formats we offer, both designed for artists who want more depth, more space, or a different kind of visibility than a group exhibition provides.
Format 1 – Artist Interview
A Marea Gallery artist interview is a curated Q&A published permanently on the gallery website. It includes a curatorial introduction written by Tamara Perusic, a full interview in your own words about your practice and process, images of your work woven through the text, and social media promotion on Instagram and Facebook.
The interview is right for you if:
- You want to tell the story behind your work in depth, not just show images, but explain where the work comes from and what drives it
- You want a permanent, searchable page that represents you professionally and appears in search results for your name
- You want to reach a new audience: the gallery’s followers and anyone who discovers the interview through search.
The interview is available to all artists and costs €35. Artists who have been selected for a Marea Gallery open call are invited to apply without additional curatorial review.
Format 2 – Virtual Solo Exhibition
A Marea Gallery solo exhibition is a dedicated page presenting up to 15 of your works – just yours, with a curatorial introduction, full artwork details, your artist statement, social media promotion, a YouTube video presentation, and archiving for one year.
The solo exhibition is right for you if:
- You have a developed body of work: a series or collection of pieces that belong together and tell a story when seen as a whole
- You want a dedicated promotional push; social media, YouTube, and a gallery page focused entirely on your practice
- You want to build a serious, permanent online presence that goes beyond individual open call appearances.
The solo exhibition costs €90. A combined Solo + Interview package is available for €110 – saving €15 and combining the full depth of both formats.
Open calls put your work in context with others. An interview or solo exhibition puts you at the centre.
