Conrad
Wilde Gallery supports emerging and established artists, collectors,
and public audiences by providing a venue for the access, celebration,
and advancement of contemporary art.
Curatorial
Emphasis
The
gallery features a collection of contemporary paintings, sculpture and

techniques. Work outside of this niche will be considered on a more
limited basis.
Criteria

work represented by the gallery is juried for appropriateness based
upon: quality, subject matter, critical relevance, price, marketability,
professionalism and an artist’s career development with relation
to the particular needs of the gallery at a given time.
Non-Discrimination
It
is the gallery’s policy not to discriminate on any basis other
than the selection criteria described above. Occasionally the gallery
will solicit works from specific community groups that are under-represented
or marginalized in mainstream culture. We do this in order to offer
exhibitions to as diverse a group of artists as possible while supporting
the gallery’s curatorial mission.
