Yes. While our highlighted exhibition calendar books up in advance, we are always accepting proposals for consideration. We encourage any artist interested in showing with us to submit a proposal regardless of availability, as it allows us to keep your work in mind when planning future programming. When you reach out, we will give you an honest picture of where the calendar stands and what timelines may be realistic.

We host a range of exhibition formats including solo shows, group shows, and open calls. Solo shows feature the work of one artist. Group shows are typically brought to us through one point of contact representing a collaborative or collective. Open calls are curated around a theme and invite artists to submit work for consideration as part of that show. The process for each is similar, though open calls have their own submission form with specific guidelines.

The first step is filling out our initial exhibition proposal form. This form is non-committal and is simply a way for us to get familiar with your concept, the type of work you are interested in showing, any layout ideas or sketches you have, and examples of your work. It also asks for your preferred timeframe, which we do our best to work with when scheduling.

Submit an exhibition proposal to Uncanny Art House here.

For open calls, a separate form is used. That form will include all relevant details such as what work is being sought, the submission and review periods, when artists will be notified, and the full exhibition dates.

Submitted proposals are reviewed by our exhibition committee. Accepted proposals are then evaluated for scheduling, and you will be notified of your confirmed dates. Those dates include your install period, your opening date, your exhibition close date, and your deinstall and pickup window. We will also walk you through how we promote shows and encourage you to promote alongside us.

Yes. Once your show is officially confirmed, you will be asked to complete our artist agreement form. This document covers how your work is hosted in the space, how sales are processed, your payout percentage, and gallery guidelines.

We use a press release as the foundation for all promotional content. The press release goes out to news outlets and is then used to create event listings on our website, submissions to community calendars, posts across our social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, and Google Business, and content for our email newsletter. Promotion typically begins at least three weeks before an opening, with one month being the ideal lead time. If your exhibition includes workshops or classes, those are promoted alongside the show as well.

There is typically a two-week window between shows. The first week is reserved for the outgoing show to deinstall and remove their work. The second week is your install period. You are welcome to begin dropping off work during the deinstall week, but the two periods are kept intentionally separate to keep things organized while work is moving in and out.

Our goal is to have every show fully installed by 5pm on the Thursday before second Friday Art Walk. We will share our office hours with you ahead of your install period. If you need access outside of those hours, a key can be arranged with the expectation that it is returned promptly.

Yes. We are available to support artists throughout the install process. We also offer to hand-paint the title wall for every show, which we find to be more impactful than vinyl. For solo shows, the design is coordinated with the artist. For group shows and open calls, the curatorial team handles the design.

Openings are held on the second Friday of the month, aligning with Second Friday Art Walk. This is a consistent part of how we operate, and the opening date for your show will be set accordingly when your calendar slot is confirmed.

Deinstall begins the day after your show closes. We will send you a reminder ahead of that period with your deinstall timeline and a window for when you can come retrieve your work. During this time, we handle removing work from the walls, pulling hardware, patching holes, and repainting the walls so the space is ready for the next artist.
