Current Exhibitions 

The City of Ocala seeks unique, thought-provoking exhibits that are appropriate for a public City space, where work will be viewed by citizens and guests of all ages. Only complete applications will be reviewed. Viewer engagement, artist intent, originality of ideas, and use of media and technique are all considered when an application is being reviewed for approval.

The City of Ocala recommends that artist(s) plan on delivering a minimum of 20 works to be exhibited. The gallery selection for displaying accepted works will be determined by the City based on the works submitted, space available, and needs of each gallery space. The City of Ocala will work with artists on the layout of the exhibit, however the City reserves the right to adjust the layout as appropriate for the space and based on past experience in the gallery space.

Exhibits rotate on a six month basis, depending on the gallery space. Spaces available for exhibits include:

• City Hall (1st and 2nd Floor Lobbies), 110 SE Watula Ave., Ocala, FL 34471
• Eighth Avenue Adult Activity Center, 828 NE Eighth Ave., Ocala, FL 34470
• Mary Sue Rich Community Center at Reed Place, 1821 NW 21st Ave., Ocala, FL 34475
