Deadline Extended! Apply Until Feb 1st

The Jessye Norman School of the Arts is inviting four emerging artists to participate in the JNSA Window Project Display and Gallery Show. The show provides an opportunity for new and emerging artists to showcase their work in a professional gallery with guidance and assistance from arts professionals from the community.  

The JNSA window project selects an artist for one of four 6 week display periods throughout the year. Each artist’s work will be enlarged to full window size.

At the end of the year, all 4  artists will be invited to participate in a group exhibition in the Ann and Ellis Johnson Gallery of Art.

Congratulations to Joseph Jacobs, Kelly Igo, Susan McKew, and Lexus Lewis for a successful 2024 Window Project Show! Apply now to be displayed on our 8th street window in 2025!
