Open Source Call for 2027 Exhibitions (Due Nov. 1)
Open Source Call for 2027 Exhibitions
Deadline: November 1st, 2025
We’re excited to announce that our Open Call for 2027 Exhibitions is now open!
Impacted by the open source movement—which promotes freely shared, educational software and information—Open Source Gallery applies a similar philosophy to create an approachable space dedicated to the accessibility of contemporary visual art. In addition to monthly exhibitions, which feature conceptually-driven art from both local and international artists, we offer many public programs that foster dialogue about art in our neighborhood.
For our 2027 Open Call, we invite applications from artists working in any medium and location, whose practices emphasize experimentation, sustainability, and social engagement. As part of this opportunity, selected artists will receive artist fees based on the W.A.G.E. certification schedule, a production budget, and support from Open Source in the form of planning, production and communications. The chosen exhibition(s) will take place in 2027 and will be scheduled according to artists’ availability and other programming dates. Exhibitions are typically 5-6 weeks long.
