Bathroom Design Open Call

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: SoMad
Deadline: Wed, November 11th, 2026

SoMad is moving into a new building in 2027, and instead of filling our bathrooms with basic fixtures, fluorescent lighting and forgettable tile, we’re inviting artists to transform each one into something entirely their own — a permanent, site-specific environment that will inspire occupants for decades to come.

We want spaces with a real point of view, that are weird, funny, lush, disorienting, tender. We crave rooms that surprise you, delight you, make you linger or laugh, further your perception. After all, the time we spend in the bathroom is ubiquitous and capable of creating a moment for each of us, alone and unhurried, to have a privately profound experience. SoMad is especially interested in concepts that are an extension of your existing practice.

Whether you already work in the realm of image-making, sculpture, installation or something more abstract, we want to know how your ideas become a room. You don’t need to make something that looks like a bathroom. You just need to make something that works as one. Bold, strange and unexpected proposals are all encouraged. Functional and maintainable are essentials. No prior bathroom design experience is required.

Open to: artists, designers, architects, and interdisciplinary creatives. NYC-based or able to be onsite for key project phases preferred.
