Call for submissions: SPACE Gallery’s storefront window

SPACE Gallery is seeking proposals for visual installations that respond to the 538 storefront window exhibition space.

 

We are most interested in new work that hasn’t been shown before, especially proposals that consider the three dimensionality of the space and it’s placement in a busy part of Portland’s arts district with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Projects must abide by SPACE’s mission to present high quality, alternative and unconventional ideas.

This unique space gives artists the opportunity to use the large street facing glass panels (85″ high x 110″wide), the window platform (179″ long, 26″ deep, 17″ tall) and the back wall (centered on the platform, 96″ tall x 122″ wide) for unconventional installation based work that will reach a broad audience.

The duration for window exhibitions is flexible, but generally last for one month. Please consider the amount of install time you will need when determining your availability.

Take a moment to look these examples of successful window installations:

Greta Bank // Clearance: The Four Horsemen
Crystal Cawley // Protective Coloration
Randy Regier // Dime Star
Anna Hepler // Projection Rooms

 
Here is a link to our submission guidelines where you can see photos and dimensions of the window.
 
Please send submissions to jenny@space538.org
