Project Room Open Call
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 625 sq ft PROJECT ROOM.
Locust Projects is committed to supporting the creation and presentation of ambitious new work. Existing work is not accepted for Open Calls. Proposals for new, installation-based work that has never been presented before should specifically be designed for our Project Room. We present visual artists working in any medium and any stage in their career as long as the work they propose for Locust Projects demonstrably pushes their practice in new directions as part of our mission to invite risk-taking and experimentation.
Collectives and artist collaborations are encouraged to apply as long as the work is presented as a singular vision. Artists whose work engages with relevant contemporary issues—such as race, identity, gender equity, basic needs, climate change, or environmental advocacy—are encouraged to apply. These are just some of the many critical concerns shaping contemporary art today, and we welcome proposals that reflect a broad range of timely and ambitious inquiries, in keeping with our mission to support critically engaged practices.
Final projects are realized with support from a collaborative environment and supportive Locust Projects staff.
Deadline: 28 July 2025
