Eligibility
Open to all artists, curators, and collectives worldwide except current undergraduate students.
Individuals who identify as part of a historically marginalized group are encouraged to submit.
Theme
Seeking exhibition proposals from solo artists, collectives, and curators for a new outdoor space, Pennant Place, located in Gainesville, Florida. Work must be able to be hung on a cable about 13 feet (4m) off the ground and must be able to withstand the elements (wind, rain, sunshine, squirrels). Flags, Banners, Clothing, Streamers, Pennants, and Windchimes come to mind, but feel free to surprise us! Total exhibition weight shouldn’t exceed 20 pounds (9kg). There is about 30 feet (9m) of cable space for hanging work.

Proposals should be submitted as one PDF and include the following:
- Image of the proposed work (if the work is to be made, then example work)

- Written proposal (~350-600 words)
- Artist(s)/Curator(s) Bio (~200-500 words each)

All submissions are currently reviewed on a rolling basis. Email submissions and any questions to:

There are no submission or participation fees, but no artists fees or compensation is available. Shipping will likely be paid one direction by the artist and one direction by the gallery, but do not let shipping keep you from submitting, we can try and work on a plan if that is the limiting factor. Work will be outdoors and hung 13 feet off the ground (at the top) in a quiet residential neighborhood but damage is possible and the space has no insurance and is not liable for any damage to work. Work will be insured during shipping.
Artwork sales are permitted with 80% going to the artists and 20% to the gallery. Any after show sales or sales derived from the show of other artwork goes 100% to the artist.
Review and Selection
Artists will be contacted on a rolling basis as well. By submitting your work, you agree that images, videos, and/or text of your accepted work can be used for promotional purposes, but you retain the original copyright.
Access Riders
To assist our exhibition and working relationship, I am open to receiving access riders. An access rider can include needs, wants, limits, and boundaries. An access rider is a document that can work as a starting point for a conversation between us about the accessibility of a certain situation. While usually used for disabled artists, they are useful for anyone to facilitate a proper relationship and ensure boundaries and limits are respected. If you have no previous experience with access riders/access documents, I can help you with templates or other resources.
I can make this call available in other formats, if needed, please just ask.
The main point for me is to lower barriers to access to submission and exhibition, so please contact me with any concerns, questions, or needs!
