Smack Mellon welcomes proposals from emerging and under-recognized mid-career artists. Proposals will be considered for both Gallery One (the larger front space) and Gallery Two (the smaller back space). For Gallery One we encourage site-specific projects and installations that respond to the unusual architecture of the space. Only artists who do not have commercial gallery representation in New York City will be considered.

We accept applications for exhibitions twice per year. The next deadline to submit a proposal is May 4, 2022, and the following will be December 1, 2022. We will respond to each group of new applicants by the end of August and the end of February respectively. We will be reviewing submissions for 2023 or later.
