KINGS presents critical and experimental projects from emerging and mid-career artists. We strongly encourage applications from First Nations artists, artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Deaf and disabled artists and LGBTQIA+ artists.
KINGS seeks to support a broad range of projects and approaches to contemporary art practice. We particularly value projects that are research-based, experimental, relevant to current social and political concerns and projects that contribute to broader discourses within the arts.
Exhibitions selected from this call out will not incur a gallery hire fee. Selected artists will receive exhibition support from the KINGS committee. This will include face-to-face or Zoom meetings, assistance with promotional material and exhibition texts, and installation support.
