Group & Solo Proposals Open

Show dates: July 18 - August 27
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 18, 1:00 - 3:00

BLOC Gallery is now accepting proposals for upcoming exhibitions, including both solo and group shows. We’re interested in work that pushes boundaries, sparks dialogue, and engages with ideas across all mediums.

Artists, curators, and collectives are invited to submit thoughtful, well-developed proposals that reflect a clear vision and strong conceptual foundation. Whether you’re emerging or established, we welcome diverse perspectives and experimental approaches.

We carefully review every submission, and proposals not selected for this exhibition will remain under consideration for future opportunities. Selected and unselected proposals alike help shape our programming, and submissions will continue to be reviewed for exhibitions throughout 2026 and into 2027.

Join us in shaping a dynamic and evolving program, submit your proposal and be part of the conversation at BLOC Gallery.
