BOX 13 ArtSpace, a Houston-based artist-run nonprofit gallery and studio space, has announced its open call for 2024 exhibition proposals.
BOX13 ArtSpace, Houston
Each year, BOX 13 accepts exhibition proposals to fill its four gallery spaces, the Window BOX Gallery, Front BOX Gallery, Back BOX Gallery, and the Upstairs BOX Gallery. Specifically, the organization seeks proposals for shows featuring experimental works that have not previously been shown in Houston. As BOX 13 is a fully volunteer artist-run organization without staff or budgets to fund shows, exhibiting artists are expected to install their own work and cover costs related to shipping, installation, and travel expenses.
