A Space Gallery Summer 2026 Open Call:
Curatorial Lab
A Space Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) is pleased to announce that applications are now open for our Curatorial Lab Summer 2026, a program supporting emerging and independent curators in developing experimental, concept-driven exhibitions.
The selected curator will participate in a one-month development period leading to a final exhibition at A Space Gallery in July 2026. Exhibition scheduling and format will be determined in collaboration with the selected curator, based on the nature of the project.
We welcome proposals that challenge the format, structure, and experience of artworks within space. Projects that engage with display, narrative, and audience interaction in thoughtful or unexpected ways are strongly encouraged. We welcome applications from curators of all backgrounds and career stages who can be in New York if selected.
The curator selected for the program will work closely with A Space Gallery’s team to develop and realize their exhibition. The gallery will provide production and visual support throughout the process, and the final exhibition will be featured on Artsy and promoted across A Space Gallery’s platforms.
