Exhibition Proposal | Arts + Literature Laboratory | Madison Contemporary Arts Center

Exhibition Proposal

ALL exhibits artists with diverse voices, at all stages of their careers - from emerging to established - who work regionally, nationally, and internationally. ALL serves the community as an experimental laboratory space, pushing boundaries to show new work that is conceptually engaged in the contemporary conversation. ALL fosters dialogue, connection, and engagement through our exhibitions, actively challenging our audiences while creating an intentionally inclusive space.

Guidelines:

  • We have five spaces featuring exhibitions of varying lengths throughout the year. We are currently accepting exhibition proposals for 2025 and 2026 openings in the Ellen Kort Mezzanine Gallery, and Level 1 and Level 3 Project Spaces.
  • Please review our Past Exhibitions for examples of previous shows.
  • We encourage artists historically denied access to creative career paths, including Black artists, Indigenous artists, and artists of color, women artists, LGBTQ+ artists, and artists with disabilities to apply.
  • We review submissions at least two times per year, but we also accept and review submissions on a rolling basis for additional opportunities that may arise.
  • Please indicate on your application your months of availability for a show, if applicable.
  • All media, including photographs, paintings, prints, sculpture, installation-based work, time-based media, etc. are welcome.
  • We feature solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, and curatorial projects. Curatorial projects must include detailed project information and images of all included work.

Please send any questions to hello [at] artlitlab [dot] org.
