ArtPrize® wants to help local venue owners participate in the event. We recognize it's a significant investment of time to host a venue. We'd like to assist you with any questions or problems you have about becoming an ArtPrize venue.

Please contact Dave DeBoer, head of venue relations, at dave@artprize.org with any questions.


Please consider
  • Professional curators are available to handle much of the exhibition, contact us
  • You may sell refreshments, merchandise or find other ways to get entrepreneurial
  • You may work out a portion of sales or winnings from artists in your agreement
  • Your venue profile is your face to the world, make sure it looks nice
  • If you charge fees to the artist, be very clear about what expenses are being cover, and be willing to negotiate
  • There may be sponsors interested in hosting your venue
  • Your artists may be willing to help with open hours or other tasks
  • Recruit volunteers to watch your venue, so you can rest
  • There are colleges, fine arts centers or other non-profit organizations outside the boundary looking to host a venue
