Artist Opportunities offered year-round:
Contracommon is happy to offer its facilities and amenities to local artists interested in hosting workshops and events! We regularly post open calls for art and also accept exhibition proposals for our gallery on a rolling basis. Click the button below to find out ways to get involved with our space, or keep scrolling to see our current open calls.
Contracommon is accepting applications from artists for a booth-style exhibition in our gallery. The Merry Makers Market will be on view from November 28th, 2025 through January 2nd, 2026.
Each selected artist will be allotted approximately ten feet of wall space and may bring a table, rack, shelves etc. to display smaller works or items. Check out the pages for our past booth-style exhibitions Imprint ATX and REFLEX III to get an idea of how previous exhibiting artists have utilized their wall space. Installation will take place by appointment from November 21st through the 24th. Exhibition fees for selected artists will be $100, although financial assistance is available if needed.
We will celebrate the artists participating in our Merry Makers Market with an opening reception on Black Friday, November 28th, from 4-7pm.
