2027 Open Call for Art

The Dairy Arts Center invites artists, curators, and collectives to apply for our 2027 Call for Art Exhibitions.

We are seeking bold, thoughtful exhibition proposals across all visual art mediums. Selected artists will work closely with Curator of Visual Arts to develop exhibitions presented in 2027.

Our Visual Arts Program centers innovative, socially engaged, and conceptually driven work that sparks dialogue and reflects the complexity of our contemporary moment. We are particularly interested in projects rooted in storytelling, cultural inquiry, community connection, and experimental approaches to material and form.

We welcome proposals for solo or group exhibitions that challenge assumptions, expand perspectives, and invite audiences into meaningful exchange—whether through personal narrative, collective history, ecological inquiry, or boundary-pushing visual practice.

If your work asks strong questions and creates space for inspiring and thought-provoking conversation, we want to see it.

Application Requirements

All applications must be made through the CaFE platform.

Artist Biography: A brief bio about yourself.

Artist Statement: A short statement describing your application concept and the relation of your works to the exhibition you are applying for

Work Samples: Submit at least 2 and up to 10 work samples (any media accepted, including a combination of video, audio, and images).
