## About This Program

Dama Gallery is accepting submissions for its current and ongoing Ventura exhibition program: a curated mix of solo and group exhibitions in a 3,000-square-foot space inside a 100-year-old historic building, with high ceilings and adaptable configurations that support large-scale installations, sculpture and ambitious contemporary works. Accepted artwork includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media and new genres; proposals may include multiple disciplines.
