If you’re looking to submit your work for consideration for a website feature, please visit the Submit page. Additional opportunities such as calls for art are posted, as they become available, on the Opportunities page.
The online exhibition will run Monday, April 1 – Sunday, April 21, 2019.
Submission fee is $15. See below for important dates.
Young Space invites submissions of contemporary visual art for an online exhibition in Spring 2019! Following the success of previous online Young Space exhibitions, this is an opportunity to submit your work for consideration for a curated virtual show.
How it works (please read carefully!)
The online shows aim to be internationally accessible, 24/7, curated, professional, virtual presentations of exciting contemporary work from around the world. The show is presented on an autonomous website that is promoted on yngspc.com and via social media, and each work is highlighted individually on the @yngspc Instagram (77K+ followers, including gallerists, curators, and collectors) throughout the run of the show. Artists are not required to ship work unless it is sold. If work sells, Kate coordinates the sale, and the artist ships to the buyer directly from the studio!
It’s helpful to check out yngspc.com/artists or scroll through the Instagram gallery to get a feel for the varieties and styles of work there, to get an idea if you think your work aligns with the Young Space aesthetic. Please note that there is a submission fee, which supports Young Space as an independent curatorial platform. (Alternatively, if you would like to support Young Space in another way, a brand new Patreon account has been established to hopefully help reduce or eliminate fees in future.)
APPLICATION
Please complete both Step 1 and Step 2 below. Your submission will not be considered until both steps are completed.
Send any questions or concerns you may have via email to kate@yngspc.com. All correspondence will be through email only. If you encounter any issues with this form or any other part of the submission process, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
