Exhibitions
Propose an Exhibition
Gallery 400 accepts exhibition proposals of new or existing work. In addition to exhibitions in the gallery space, Gallery 400 has the capacity to present a number of different projects, including public objects or installations outside of the gallery; events, seminars, or web-based projects; new media, video, and film installations; sound works and radio plays; performance pieces; printed ephemera; and projects of a similar scope. We invite proposals from local, national, and international artists and curators.
Proposals are accepted for the Gallery’s three exhibition spaces: one larger gallery (1,500 sq. ft.) and two smaller galleries (250 sq. ft. and 410 sq. ft.). Gallery staff and faculty advisers from the College of Architecture and the Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago review all proposals on a quarterly basis.
