Locust Projects is currently running an OPEN CALL for Project Room exhibition proposals, with the aim of enabling local, national, and international visual artists to experiment with new ideas and media. We encourage artists to propose experimental, site-specific projects that are engaging and risk-taking that extend your practice in concept, scale, and/or scope. We encourage artists from all backgrounds and working in any medium looking to present experimental projects to apply. Proposals should include new installation based work that has never been presented before specifically designed for the Project Room.  Collectives and artist collaborations are encouraged to apply as long as the work is presented as a singular vision.
