The LaunchPad
The LaunchPad offers the opportunity to install a solo exhibition of 3-dimensional work in our entryway gallery for a 5-week period. This is a one-time opportunity, giving artists seeking exposure in the Boston area a chance to be affiliated with a distinguished gallery in the heart of the SoWa arts district. The LaunchPad gallery occupies the ground level space between the window galleries and the front gallery, and offers floor space, wall space, as well as one street-facing window display vitrine. LaunchPad exhibitions run concurrently with the Boston Sculptors Gallery exhibitions in the main gallery. No further commitments are required.
The LaunchPad accepts applications from all sculptors residing in the United States with the ability to hand deliver and pick up their work. (No remote shipment of artwork.)
Submission deadline for proposals is April 15, 2024.

Details
Selected artists install exhibitions after consulting with a representative of Boston Sculptors Gallery regarding installation guidelines. LaunchPad artists provide all necessary installation hardware and pedestals. The exhibition space includes two corner walls, 5’ w x 7’ h and 6’ w x 7’ h, at slightly less than 90 degrees, floor space of 100 sq ft up to 5 feet, and one window bay with two vitrines for exhibiting work.
LaunchPad artists may opt to further promote their exhibition through print collateral such as postcards (Boston Sculptors Gallery to provide design template) and display ads, as well as social media, at their own expense. All such publicity requires approval from the Gallery prior to publication/printing.
