Although our goal is to provide exhibiting exposure for our artist members, we cannot guarantee acceptance into any show other than our annual member show. Most of our exhibits are curated or juried by independent artists/curators. We try to provide our membership with a wide range of jurors and themes. In this way, we hope that we are providing SMI members a chance to get their work in front of many different curators and art professionals – a valuable exposure in and of itself. Besides exhibiting opportunities, SMI provides networking events, programs, critique groups, local discounts and our weekly hot list email. Most of these are free or at a reduced fee for members.
