The Artists’ Network is welcoming exhibition proposals for 2026
- Are you a freelance art curator with an idea but no gallery?
- Are you part of the LGBTQ2S+ or BIPOC arts community with a story to share?
- Are you an emerging or established artist looking to launch a solo show?
- Are you part of an artist group of two or more seeking a gallery?
The Artists’ Network is welcoming exhibition proposals from the visual arts community, curators, artists, collectives, working across a wide range of mediums to exhibit in its Leslie Grove Gallery during 2026.
The Artists’ Network is particularly interested in engaging proposals from diverse creative communities to share their respective voices. We also encourage proposals that challenge the visual arts’ definition and boundaries, whether socially or aesthetically. Besides a gallery exhibition, submissions can include plans for an artist talk, art demonstration, community participation event, and more.
