SAM Calls for Local Artists to Submit Exhibition Proposals

Exhibit at SAM in December 2016

Each year SAM goes local across December and January, spotlighting the practice of local artists with three exhibitions;

  • SAM Local. Spotlight,
  • SAM Local. VCE Art and Studio Arts and
  • SAM Local. Best of Friends.

SAM Local. Spotlight profiles the work of one artist with a solo exhibition. This initiative encourages, stimulates and promotes local and regional cultural activities as part of SAM’s annual program. It enables artists to experience working in a professional museum context. Exhibitions are programmed up to six months in advance.
