Descanso Gardens invites curators, artists, collectives, cultural producers, and thinkers of all kinds to submit preliminary curatorial proposals on the theme of water. We are looking for exhibitions and cultural programs that are inspired by careful study of water history, policy, culture, science, and art. Water is the lifeblood of Descanso Gardens. It is reflected in our future planning, wellness practices, and storytelling. Locally and around the world, water is a symbol of wellness and abundance, but also scarcity and disruption. What is the past, present, and future of water? How can we celebrate water? What can we learn from other cultures, both indigenous and around the world? How does it connect us and protect us, and how do we shape and protect it? What hidden stories can be revealed about water?
To learn more about the Call for Proposals, participation requirements, and application guidelines, please visit Descanso Gardens website: https://www.descansogardens.org/visit/call-for-proposals/
Applicants must submit their preliminary proposal by May 16, 2025.
