Curatorial Opportunities

Exhibition proposals are reviewed annually by Byrdcliffe’s Exhibition Committee. Proposals in a broad range of media are encouraged and should present work that engages questions of theoretical and critical relevance to contemporary artistic practice. In addition, exhibitions of historic merit that relate to the arts and crafts movement are considered and bi-annually, an outdoor sculpture exhibition is presented at Byrdcliffe’s historic White Pines property.

Guidelines

Call for 2026 Exhibition Proposals
