Kinhouse 2025 Open Call
Apply to our open call AT THIS LINK
An annual call for art: Kinhouse 2025
For this show we are looking for work that embodies the spirit of our chosen name “Kinhouse”. The term “Kin” refers to a person’s sense of belonging - whether chosen or not, blood relative or friend, the spirit of the word embodies folks who a person makes a life with. The term “House” refers to a building in which people live, but also a body, a sense of place, an intentional gathering for comfort, coziness, or safe experiences. We want to see art that considers both or one of these terms… that speaks to our collective or individual sense of belonging, grounding, rooting, and connecting. Submissions with thematic elements related to the domestic, caregiving, heritage, place, legacy, and community are encouraged.
All submissions will be considered for our in-person exhibition at Kinhouse Gallery and for our extended Kinhouse Exhibition Catalog.
Our Kinhouse exhibition catalog is a published book featuring the work of the artists selected for the in-person expedition and an extended additional selection of artworks that we want to highlight as speaking to this open call. The curators statement and thoughts are included in the catalog, along with high-quality images of the selected artworks addressing the theme of Kinhouse.
Call Ends: July 13, 2025, Midnight EST
Artist’s Notified by: July 27, 2025, Midnight EST
Work Must Arrive at KHG: August 22, 2025
Exhibition dates: August 28, 2025 - October 1, 2025
