Proposals
UTS Gallery welcomes proposals from artists, designers, architects, curators, arts organisations and other creative innovators. Applicants are encouraged to visit the gallery and review our programming history prior to making a submission. Selection is based on artistic merit, exhibition depth, profile of the participants and relevance to the UTS community. A subcommittee of the UTS Art Advisory Committee, which includes the gallery curator, determines the program.
UTS Gallery is committed to presenting innovative work by professional practitioners based locally, nationally and internationally, with exhibitions particulary from the Asia-Pacific region encouraged. The annual program of 6 exhibitions incorporates curated, solo, and collaborative projects across a broad range of media, with a key focus on critical practices that reflect and engage with current dialogues surrounding cultural production. The gallery supports its exhibition program through the development of related public programs, education and publishing activities. An annual artist-in-residence is also offered to coincide with one exhibition per year, usually in February.
General exhibition and promostion expenses are covered subject to available funds. Special requirements need to be negotiated well in advance with the curator. UTS Gallery reserves the right to accept or reject exhibition proposals in accordance with its discretion.
If you would like to discuss your proposal, please contact the gallery.
