Proposals

UTS Gallery welcomes proposals from artists, designers, architects, curators and arts organisations. Applicants are encouraged to review the Gallery's programming history and outlook prior to submitting. Exhibition selection is on the basis of artistic merit, exhibition research, profile of the participants and relevance to the UTS community.

UTS Gallery is committed to presenting innovative work by professional practitioners based locally, nationally and internationally. The annual program of 7 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 program, education and publishing activities.

A subcommittee of the UTS Art Advisory Committee, which includes the UTS Gallery Curator, determines the program. General exhibition expenses are covered by UTS Gallery subject to available funds.
