Quad City Arts supports local and regional artists by
providing two different
venues to exhibit and sell their artwork to the public, the Quad City
Arts Gallery
and the Quad City International Airport Gallery. The Quad City Arts
Gallery is
home to a Gallery Store as well as exhibition space both located on the
first
floor. The building, which was once a turn-of-the-century department
store,
features hardwood floors & an amazing fourteen foot-high ceiling. The
exhibition space is more than 1,500 sq. ft., a perfect space to showcase
large paintings, sculptures & enjoy musical & literary performances. The
Gallery Store is also a great place to purchase the original artwork of
over
125 regional artists.
The Quad City International Airport, also known as Art @ the Airport, is
a formal contemporary gallery that has more than 1,600 sq. ft. of
exhibition space in floor-to-ceiling glass cases. Over 2 million
visitors view this space annually. This gallery is located in the front
of the main arrival/departure seating area among the majority of airport
traffic. Exhibits in this space are monthly and pair artists with works
from private, corporate and institutional collections.
Call for Entries & Consignment
Artists interested in exhibiting or selling their work in the Quad City Arts' gallery spaces may apply four times a year to the Call for Entries. There is no cost to apply.
