Field Projects — Winter Open Call 2026-7

Overview
Field Projects, a gallery situated in the Chelsea Gallery District of New York, has issued an open call for its Winter 2026–7 programming. The call is open to all disciplines, reflecting the gallery's commitment to a broad, cross-media curatorial practice. Submissions are reviewed by a jury whose selections will inform not only an exhibition in the Chelsea space but also a constellation of future opportunities: an online exhibition, solo and group exhibitions at Field Projects, participation in art fairs, off-site projects, and social media features. This structure suggests a curatorial vision that seeks to cultivate sustained relationships with artists rather than one-off presentations. Artists are asked to submit five images, an artist statement, and a CV. The application fee is $35 USD. The deadline for submissions is January 11, 2027. There is no specified prize or award; the value lies in the exhibition and promotional platforms offered. The gallery's location in Chelsea places selected work within a historically significant gallery district, providing context and visibility among established and emerging spaces. Field Projects' open call is not themed, and the absence of a prescribed subject matter indicates an openness to a wide range of contemporary practices. The jury will assess submissions based on the strength of the work and its coherence with the gallery's curatorial interests. Artists are encouraged to present a focused body of work that demonstrates a clear artistic voice and technical command. The multiple outcomes—from physical exhibition to online and off-site presentations—suggest that selected artists may be considered for various formats, and the gallery's social media features indicate an interest in extending the work's reach beyond traditional exhibition contexts.
