Open Call for 2026 Exhibition Proposals at Kinhouse
Kinhouse Gallery (Fort Wayne, IN)
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.
Selected artists/curators will receive from us:
- Communication and support leading up to the exhibition
- Installation support at the exhibition
- 2-6 week use of our gallery space for your exhibition
- Promotion and marketing of your artwork and exhibition on our platforms
- $250 stipend for use for your exhibition preparations at your discretion
