Proposal Guidelines for the Fried Fruit Art Space
2026-27 Exhibition Cycle
Deadline – July 18, 2025
Fried Fruit Art Gallery is accepting proposals for solo, or two person shows in our cargo container gallery for the 2025-26 exhibition cycle. We are located in the Cargo District of Wilmington, NC.
In ONE email, please send the following to Madison Creech – friedfruitart@gmail.com
1. 2 - 5 Images of your proposed works. (if work is yet to be made, then provide past work samples along with sketches and/or renderings of the proposed work)
2. Exhibition Proposal: Share your vision for the exhibition in a brief description (250 - 500 words)
3. CV or Resume
Artists are responsible for shipping/delivering work to and from the gallery. There is a possibility to receive a $500 stipend for an artist talk or workshop at University of North Carolina Wilmington in conjunction with the exhibition. Please note interest in your application materials. Although we accept all types of work, we prioritize installation, experimental works, and/or community engaged works. For this cycle, priority for one of the available slots will be given to an artist whose work conceptually engages with mathematics.
While current UNCW students are not allowed to apply, two available slots are reserved for graduating seniors to exhibit, as selected by the faculty of the Arts and Art History Department.
Exhibition hours: Each exhibition will be up for approximately one month and will include an opening reception where patrons are invited inside the gallery. After, the exhibition can be viewed 24/7 through the glass windows and may be visited inside by appointment only.
