TO ARTISTS WANTING TO SHOW AT KINK,

While we are always on the lookout for innovative, daring, and unique artists to show within our space, please note at this time our lineup is complete until the end of 2024, and we are no longer accepting proposals for 2025 at this time. If you wish to submit your portfolio or exhibition proposal, please take the time to review our mission and previous exhibitions to ensure that your work fits with our mission and programming. 

If you are a student looking to show either your BFA or MFA exhibition with us, we do our best to keep at least one exhibition slot open annually in late spring for this purpose. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no fee to exhibit with KINK.

KINK accepts portfolios and exhibition proposals by email only. Please include a PDF file with images and a short description of your artist or exhibition statement. 

Thank you,

Anna & McKenzie
