ART is too important not to share, and for both emerging and established creatives the chance to exhibit original work in a museum context is simply too great of an opportunity to be missed.

Dedicated to showcasing the talent of artists in the region, the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) is pleased to present two, very special opportunities for local creatives to exhibit their work as part of the 2025 exhibition program in the Hugh D.T Williamson Community Gallery.

Entering its third year following popular acclaim, SAM Selects welcomes exhibition proposals from local artists, curators, creative practitioners, and community groups to exhibit an existing original creative project or body of work in the community gallery.

A paid solo exhibition opportunity open to emerging artists living, working or studying in the Goulburn Valley, is SAM Spotlight. Developing a body of work for the exhibition over twelve months, the talented artist selected for this program will additionally receive support from the SAM Curator- Community.

A unique opportunity, SAM Selects and SAM Spotlight are well-received programs that not only raise the profile of local creatives but also offer unique professional development opportunities.

Applications to SAM Selects and SAM Spotlight close on August 1, at 11.59 pm and can be submitted via the SAM website: https://sheppartonartmuseum.com.au/support-get-involved/exhibit-at-sam/

SAM Selects will exhibit from February 23 to May 18, 2025, and SAM Spotlight solo exhibition will run from November 23, 2025, to February 15, 2026.
