About the organization
SPACE is a nonprofit artist-run organization founded in 2000 in Portland, Maine, dedicated to supporting contemporary art through exhibitions, residencies, and community programs. Its founding ethos emphasizes experimentation, risk-taking, and the belief that artists should have direct control over the means of production and presentation. The Sunroom Project Space, a recurring call, exemplifies this commitment by offering an intimate, domestic-scale exhibition opportunity for emerging and mid-career artists to present new or in-progress work.
Programs & opportunities
14 listedTaking part
Artists should approach SPACE with a clear, concise proposal that foregrounds the conceptual stakes and material process of the work, rather than a polished sales pitch. The Sunroom Project Space favors projects that respond to its intimate scale and domestic architecture. Include documentation of recent work, a brief artist statement, and a project description that articulates how the opportunity would advance your practice. Be prepared for a collaborative, dialogue-driven selection process.
