Open Call for May 2026 Solo Exhibition

ARC Gallery is pleased to announce an Open Call for Three Fully-funded Solo Exhibitions in May 2026. This Exhibition Award is made possible by a generous grant from the Athena Foundation in support of making solo show opportunities accessible to a broader audience. Visual artists of all disciplines, ages and geographic locations are encouraged to apply. The artists will be selected by the ARC cooperative based on the quality of their work and commitment to their practice. Due to the nature of this call, examples of work submitted must be of the actual work to be exhibited, and include a clear plan of display within the gallery space. Work must be completed, available, and ready to display as of the date of submission. ARC will make the final decision on which space the selected proposals will be installed. Exhibitions for the three selected artists will take place in May 2026. Work will be installed on April 26, and deinstalled on May 30th. The Opening Reception will be May 1st, 5-8pm. Selected artists will be expected to be present for all three dates, and to work with ARC members to install and deinstall their work. ARC will work with selected artists leading up to the installation and opening of the exhibitions.
