Call for Entries

Pearl Conard Art Gallery 2025-2026 Season

Claudia Esslinger and Tom Giblin, Double Vision

The Pearl Conard Art Gallery at Ohio State Mansfield is accepting solo, group, or curatorial proposals for our 2025-2026 exhibition season. We are particularly interested in exhibitions that will foster interdisciplinary connections among various academic fields, introduce students to diverse perspectives, engage with the campus woodlands visible through our windows, and/or actively involve students in understanding contemporary world issues.

Please send a description of the proposed exhibition including installation requirements and its availability during the 2025-2026 academic year, a CV or resume, and a single PDF with 10 representative images or a website link to shannon.112@osu.edu. There is no fee. The deadline for proposals is July 1, 2025, though proposals are accepted all year. Please note that the gallery is managed by faculty members and due to the high volume of entries we receive, we will only contact you if we are interested in exhibiting your work.

Funded by a gift from the John and Pearl Conard Foundation, the gallery is located in Mansfield, Ohio, a city approximately 80 miles southwest of Cleveland and 65 miles northeast of Columbus. The space has hardwood floors, a large lighted glass block lantern over the entrance hall, 2,500 square feet of floor area, and UV coated glass walls on three sides that show a view of OSU Mansfield’s wooded campus.
