Cambridge Art Association’s (CAA) Satellite Spaces are opportunities for CAA Members to display their work in non-traditional, public spaces. These opportunities allow new audiences to connect with the work of local artists, as well as the CAA mission.
Our current Satellite Gallery Spaces include Darwin’s Cafe on Cambridge Street & Mt. Auburn Street.
EXHIBITION ELIGIBILITY
CAA Artist, Associate Artist, and Student Artist Members are eligible to participate for free in one (1) solo exhibit in a Satellite Gallery every two (2) years. Members may be featured more frequently, based on interest, in group Satellite Gallery exhibits. Artists receive CAA’s standard percentage on all sales from Satellite Galleries. CAA handles all logistics – installation, labels, etc. for all Satellite Galleries.
Please note: This exhibition opportunity is for CAA Artist, Associate Artist & Student Artist Members only. Please read below for descriptions and restrictions for each satellite gallery location before submitting your application.
