main gallery exhibition program 2024

Locust Projects invites local, national, and international artists to apply for the opportunity to access the space and resources to create ambitious, large-scale new work in our 2,500 sq ft MAIN GALLERY in our new home in Little River.

Proposals are reviewed by a rotating jury comprised of local, national and international artists that have previously exhibited at Locust Projects and one local curator.

Locust Projects provides selected artists with curatorial guidance, production budget, artist WAGE fee, documentation, and an opportunity to stay in the Locust Projects residency for site visits and while you build your site-specific installation.

The Selection Process:

Proposals are reviewed by a rotating jury of artists that have previously exhibited at Locust Projects and one local curator.

• The following criteria will be used during the review process:
• Conceptual strength of the proposal, ambitious ideas, scale and/or use of space
• Strength of past work
• Unique or innovative approach to transforming or activating LP's space and extension of the artist's practice
• Feasibility of proposed project and related programs within budget and logistical concerns
• Compelling approach to contemporary artistic practice, societal concerns, and/or community impact

Please keep in mind, we are a non-traditional alternative art space. If the project could easily be presented in a traditional or commercial gallery setting or could be realized without the support of our organization, it is unlikely for us to consider your proposal. We do not show existing work, host traveling exhibitions, retrospectives, or group shows. We are not a commercial gallery, we do not offer artist representation.
