OPEN CALL FOR KUNSTRAUM'S EXHIBITION PROGRAM SPRING 2025  

Application Deadline: December 31, 2024 | Notifications: February 28, 2025

KUNSTRAUM is calling for submissions for our 2025 Exhibition Program.  

Emerging and mid-career artists are invited to submit their work for consideration in our group exhibition in the spring, curated by our 2025-2026 Curator-in-Residence.

KUNSTRAUM is a community for artists by artists, aiming to redefine the way artists and curators collaborate. Our program seeks to explore the relationships between artists and curators by opening our gallery space to those interested in exploring unconventional, engaging ideas and taking risks.

Our gallery space is a 250 sft area inside a 1,000 sft coworking loft. Both the gallery and loft space are located at 20 Grand Avenue, a beautifully renovated factory building in Clinton Hill in Brooklyn, near the Navy Yard. Exhibitions are on view for four weeks, plus an additional six months online via KUNSTRAUM’s website. Please note that the artist must cover their shipping expenses plus provide any special presentation needs as equipment or pedestals. Opportunity to sell works, with 50% of the proceeds going to the artist, the rest will be divided between the curator and KUNSTRAUM.

To Apply:

KUNSTRAUM is born out of a necessity to create community and foster collaboration between artists, architects, curators, designers, filmmakers, and writers. The KUNSTRAUM model features excellent studio locations, networking, research opportunities, and discourse for creative production. After successfully inaugurating our first space in New York as of February 2015, we seek to expand to Berlin. Kunstraum’s global identity is designed to offer and promote an international community, mobility, and visibility in the visual arts. Recent press coverage includes Communication Arts, Creator’s Project, Huffington Post, Artnet News, Interview Magazine, Art F City, and Musée Magazine. With "Video Shop," a project at NADA New York, Kunstraum won the Artfair Goers Award and best booth.
