Open Call for Solo Exhibition

The exhibition will include a $500 reimbursable exhibition budget and professional installation shots. Submissions will be reviewed by TSA NY members. We will prioritize underrepresented artists, works that uniquely activate the space, and works that are not viable in traditional commercial markets. We encourage artists from all educational backgrounds to apply, and we are excited to see work from artists based across the United States and internationally. The artist chosen for the solo exhibition will work closely with a team of curators at TSA NY to prepare for their show.

Your submission fee directly contributes to the operating expenses for this volunteer-run non-profit art organization. If you require a fee waiver, please reach out to us at newyork@tigerstrikesasteroid.com We thank you for your support! ::
