NARS Exhibition Program
APPLY BY SEPTEMBER 23, 11:59 PM
NARS is pleased to invite exhibition proposals for solo and group curated exhibitions for 2026. Exhibition proposals from both artists and curators will be considered for solo or group exhibitions for the Main Gallery Space and the Project Space, designed for smaller and more dynamic programming.
In line with their mission, NARS exhibitions present compelling and innovative ideas and work being produced on a local, national, and international level by under-represented and emerging artists and cultural producers. Alongside the international residency program, these exhibitions create a platform showcasing artistic developments in contemporary arts and a forum for exchanging ideas.
NARS invites artists, curators, collectives, cultural producers, and thinkers to propose solo or group exhibitions that reflect our mission to foster and represent important artistic directions and critical dialogue in contemporary art and culture writ large. NARS will invite select applicants to further develop proposals and provide the space, support, and resources to mount ambitious and compelling exhibitions. Proposals will be considered and developed for either exhibition space, for shows running from 3 weeks, at NARS' discretion.
PLEASE NOTE: The NARS Galleries are non-for-profit, and operate differently than a commercial gallery might. Artists and curators applying for the Exhibition Open Call should plan to be able to install the majority of the works themselves. NARS can provide some limited support as needed, and can also provide some basic technology and tools for installation. NARS is not able to facilitate or cover the costs of shipping artworks to & from the gallery space. If selected, artists and / or curators will receive an honorarium at the end of the exhibition, to help offset some of these costs. If you may have any questions regarding what is possible, please contact info@narsfoundation.org.
