Kinhouse seeks to support emerging and mid-career artists with this meaningful opportunity to facilitate their own art exhibition in our space! We welcome proposals for solo or small group exhibitions, collaborations, artist collectives or groups, performances, installations, and site-specific artwork. Exhibitions will be considered for our 2026 programming year and we will select between 2-6 proposals. Each selected exhibition proposal will be awarded a stipend of $250 for the artist(s) to use at their discretion.
Curators are also welcome to submit proposals for our space! Proposals are never final but we consider strong proposals to have a clear vision, statement, compelling visuals and consideration towards diversity and inclusion.
Organization: Kinhouse Gallery
