Who are we looking for?
We welcome artistic creations in all media, including but not limited to painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, video, sound, fiber, and installation.
We focus on the Chinese community, with most of our audience being native Chinese speakers. Therefore, all statements (artist and artwork statements) must be in Chinese. Bilingual texts in both Chinese and English are highly recommended.
What is the 4C Exhibition?
4C means "for Conceptual Art （观念艺术）， for Contemporary Art (当代艺术), for Chinese Community（中文社群）”。
The 4C Exhibition is a monthly group exhibition plan, and each selected artist can get a one-month art exhibition, publish in a magazine, and get an opportunity to interview and report. The purpose of 4C Exhibition is to provide a pure land for Chinese artists and audiences in the gap between Chinese culture and American culture, and to nurture their own cultural soil. Let outstanding Chinese-speaking artists have a professional art platform, and promote their artistic status to the height they deserve.
According to the artist's works, we will provide each selected artist with a exhibition wall of up to 9×10 feet, 90 square feet, so that artists can exhibit their works in series. According to the arrangement of the venue, the panels will select 6~10 artists to participate in the exhibition each time, and will formulate the best display plan for each artwork.
In addition, in order to help global artists to participate in the exhibition without barriers, 4C Gallery can also provide works production services, such as giclee printing, mounting, etc., by taking advantage of its own workshop.
