Wild Gallery Exhibition 2027

Wild Goose Creative's Juried 2027 Solo Exhibition Open Call
Wild Goose Creative (WGC) is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is to build a creative community at the intersection of art, risk, and meaning.

WGC is thrilled to invite Ohio-based artists of all mediums to submit work for juried consideration for our 2027 exhibition season. Partnering with the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) and the Ohio Arts Council (OAC), we strive to build an accessible space for all arts disciplines throughout the year within our Wild Gallery Exhibition Program.

At WGC, we believe in the transformative potential of art. We seek to display the richness of our community by exploring exhibits that consider today's world welcoming all people, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, religions, beliefs, abilities, socioeconomic statuses, and levels of education.

We invite artists from all backgrounds and disciplines to submit their work for consideration. For the 2027 season we're encouraging applicants to consider how they might engage our performance space as a component of their solo show. (floorplan PDF later within application)

WGC's AI Policy:

WGC reserves the right to disqualify any submission that is deemed to use excessive AI-generated material. The term "excessive" is subject to the jurors' and WGC's discretion. WGC's goal is to highlight and showcase human-made art. Many programs feature AI Assist features, such as Adobe Photoshop. Within these programs, the artist must remain the primary creative.

Please see our floor plan below.
I understand that the application is complete to my fullest understanding. If this application is incomplete (i.e. artwork information), it will be considered incomplete and will not be considered for jurying.
I understand that the completion of this application does not ensure my participation in the 2027 Wild Gallery Exhibition season, and that Wild Goose Creative (WGC) will send further communication to me by the end of November 2026.
