Kinhouse Open Door: 2027 Exhibition & Residency Open Call

Kinhouse opens its door each year to emerging and mid-career artists and curators through Open Door, our annual call for solo, two-person, and three-person exhibitions. We welcome proposals for collaborations, artist collectives, performances, installations, and site-specific work — as well as proposals from curators looking to organize a show in our space. Selected exhibitions will be part of our 2027 programming year and come paired with a fully funded residency week for participating artists, timed to coincide with your opening reception.

We're looking for proposals with a clear vision, a strong statement, and compelling visuals, and thoughtful attention to diversity and inclusion. While submissions don't need to fall within our curatorial scope, Open Door especially welcomes work that engages with themes of community, care, belonging, the domestic, parenting, craft, and lineage — the same values that shape everything we do at Kinhouse. All art mediums are accepted for consideration.

Video/screen based submissions may require extra support. Work samples may be submitted as works-in-progress and do not need to be finished.
