Gallery Exhibitions & Artist Residency | Mexico City

Proyecto Galería, a Dab Art Co. satellite gallery located in Colonia Centro, Mexico City, is accepting submissions for exhibitions and virtual artist residencies. The gallery is housed in a 2-story former residence with 3,000 sq ft of combined exhibition space. The contemporary program is curated by Micheal Swank and focuses on artists and artwork within (but not limited to) the LGBTQ+ community.

Accepted artwork includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media, and new genres. Submissions must include 3-20 images. Entry fee is $35 for 3 images, with an additional $5 per image up to 20 total. An optional 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation with the curator is available for $50. All work must be original, unsold, and the artist must own sole copyright. 2D artwork selected for exhibition must be ready to hang with professional-quality frames, mats, and wiring. Artists are responsible for round-trip shipping and insurance. Shipments must include prepaid UPS or FedEx return labels and be in reusable containers; packing peanuts are not permitted.

Artists selected for exhibition will also receive a one-week virtual artist residency. Artists selected for online exhibitions will be placed on a gallery wait list with priority consideration for gallery exhibitions once COVID closures are lifted. The gallery retains a 50% commission on all exhibition sales in gallery and online. Selected artwork will be listed on Dab Art Co.'s sales platform, Artsy. Payment to artists is provided within 60 days after the exhibit concludes and receipt of full payment from the buyer. Entries submitted on or before September 30, 2020 are considered for upcoming exhibition; entries are reviewed weekly.
