Themed Group Exhibitions
Galerie Erga is launching an exciting new series of themed group exhibitions.
Artists are invited to apply to rent wall space in each of our series of exhibitions taking place throughout the year. These exhibitions offer talented artists a unique opportunity to showcase their work in a professional gallery exhibition, including expert curation, artwork hanging and a promotional campaign by GalerieErga.
Joining our themed group exhibitions at Galerie Erga is more than just displaying your artwork; it's also becoming part of a creative community dedicated to elevating contemporary art.
Each themed group exhibition at Galerie Erga will feature only a group of 10 artists, selected by the curator or guest curator, with each exhibition running for a period of two or three weeks, depending on the time of year and the theme selected. With each exhibition we will include and organize an opening night vernissage, with wine and snacks included. We will also provide all posters and labels, curation, hanging and promoting the events on our social media platforms as well as paid advertising and photos of the events.
By exhibiting at Galerie Erga, you become part of a supportive environment that encourages collaboration, inspiration, and growth, offering opportunities for meaningful connections with peers and art professionals alike.
