Open Call . Greater Los Angeles

Dama Gallery is accepting submissions for its current and ongoing Ventura exhibition program: a curated mix of solo and group exhibitions in a 3,000-square-foot space inside a 100-year-old historic building, with high ceilings and adaptable configurations that support large-scale installations, sculpture and ambitious contemporary works. Accepted artwork includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media and new genres; proposals may include multiple disciplines. Artists are considered primarily for the quality, clarity and strength of their work, as well as their overall preparedness for exhibition.

Selected artists are invited to participate in openings and may also be featured through the gallery's media initiatives, including The Gallery Hangover Podcast.

Entries are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with selections made throughout the month. Each submission undergoes a careful, meticulous review process, where artists are considered primarily for the quality, clarity, and strength of their work, as well as their overall preparedness for exhibition. Selection is highly intentional and curatorial in nature, with each proposal evaluated independently.

Artists will receive notifications via the CaFE platform or direct email, with final decisions made at the curator's discretion. Submissions are reviewed on a weekly basis and selections are continuous until the exhibition roster is completed.
