Exhibitions & Residency Opportunity | Mexico City

Proyectos Galería (PRPG.mx) is a Dab Art Co. satellite gallery located in Colonia Juárez, Mexico City. Housed in a 2-story former residence with 3,000 square feet of combined exhibition space, the gallery features contemporary display walls and is curated exclusively by Dab Art Co. curator Michael Swank. The program focuses on artists and artwork within (but not limited to) the LGBTQ+ community.

In response to pandemic conditions, Dab Art Co. and Proyectos Galería MX launched the Art Lab Project - Exhibition & Community Incubator program, designed to connect artists globally, provide feedback on studio practice, and create community. The program accepts painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media, and new genres. Proposals may include multiple disciplines. Entry fee is $35 for 3 images, with additional images at $5 each (maximum 20 images). An optional Zoom consultation with the curator is available for $75, limited to 1 hour, covering website review, social media accounts, biography, artist statements, and professional goals. Consultations are non-refundable and have no bearing on final selections.

Entries submitted by 8/31/2021 are considered for upcoming exhibition. Entries are reviewed weekly, and notifications are sent via email within 2 weeks after the close of each calendar month. Selected artists receive either an "Invited" status for immediate group or solo exhibition, or "Wait List" status, which includes at least one online exhibition within the calendar year. All work must be original, unsold, and owned solely by the artist. 2D artwork must be ready to hang with professional-quality frames, mats, and wiring. Artists are responsible for round-trip shipping and insurance. The gallery retains a 50% commission on all sales. Payment to artists is provided within 60 days after the exhibit concludes and receipt of full payment from the buyer. For inquiries, contact [email protected].
