The Gateway Gallery — Call for Artists

Gateway Gallery artists’ cooperative has openings for two or three 3D artists. Current priorities are fiber arts, jewelry, metalwork and ceramics, but applications are welcome from 3D artists in any media whose work is distinctly different from what is already on display in the gallery. Only work by Gateway artist members is shown and sold in the gallery. Members pay monthly dues of $45, contribute 20% of their monthly sales toward gallery expenses, and staff the gallery by sitting at least two shifts each month. Located at the Hill High Marketplace on Route 7 just west of Round Hill, Gateway Gallery has become a destination venue for artists to show and sell their work to a large following of area residents and visitors to western Loudoun attractions.

Artists' Residencies at Loudoun Libraries

Loudoun Arts and Loudoun County Public Library are pleased to announce the resumption of their unique Artist-in-Residency Program. In our COLLAB atelier project, selected artists have enjoyed three month long rent-free residencies at Loudoun Libraries. COLLAB offers four three-month residency periods each year. Artists are encouraged to plan interactions with collaborators and other users of the space during their three-month residency. Residencies will be awarded based on the quality of the artists' proposals, with special consideration given to artists willing to collaborate with partners on at least one project during the residency. This program is not limited to visual artists. Performers, writers, musicians, and makers are also encouraged to apply. We are particularly interested in cross-media collaborations. Artists are also encouraged to document and share their experiences during the residency. The Makerspace is open to the public seven days a week and open until 9 pm six nights per week. The space has work tables, tools, and access to 3-D printers display space, storage space, and other technologies. During the three-month residency, library staff will work with the artist to create an event, class, exhibit or presentation reflecting the artist's project. Resident artists will be allowed to display and sell artwork from the studio spaces. LCPL and the LA will promote resident artists' events through their website and other electronic media.
