Whether your art is inspired by the landscape’s rugged beauty, its rich culture, or your unique Appalachian perspective, we want to see it. Together, we’ll craft an experience that reflects the soul of our community and the spirit of these majestic mountains.
Representation Categories
Haus of Taylor Gallery features two categories of artists represented within our space:
Established Artists

Juried Selection Process
Emerging or independent artists who wish to display their work at Haus of Taylor and are not directly invited to exhibit their art will undergo a juried selection process. Passed only by a discerning panel of curators, your inclusion ensures a collaborative effort to elevate your piece amongst our artisan-level offerings.

Artists may submit portfolio works in person or a digital portfolio, including high-resolution images of at least six recent works. Each image should include dimensions, medium, and descriptions.
A biography or CV showcasing noteworthy exhibitions, achievements, or accolades is required.
Review by Curatorial Team
Our expert curatorial panel reviews all submissions. Criteria include originality, technical mastery, conceptual depth, and alignment with the Haus of Taylor aesthetic. This process ensures that only pieces reflecting artistry and exclusivity are selected.
