City Hall Galleria does annual open calls and accepts submissions throughout the year. All submissions by Richmond artists will also be considered for The Annex Gallery.

Comprising two major walls, City Hall Galleria primarily showcases framed or ready-to-hang two-dimensional artworks. There is also a 32” flat screen TV where videos can be displayed.

Next deadline: November 7, 2025 for 2026 programming

We offer CARFAC fees for Exhibitions in Other Public Places (2026 schedule): $594 for solo exhibitions; $297 for two-person exhibitions.

Selected artists will be contacted by January 30, 2026. Due to the volume of submissions, only selected artists will be contacted. Submissions will be kept on file for a period of up to one year for consideration.
