EXHIBITIONS

Krasl Art Center displays contemporary art indoors and out year-round. We value experimentation, innovation, excellence, timeliness and relevance. In KAC’s galleries, guests discover a safe place to experience new ideas and new media, and engage in challenging and provocative dialogue.

If you are an artist or curator with an exhibition concept or body of work that meets these values, please submit a proposal to curatorial@krasl.org.

Exhibition proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis and held for 2 years. Due to the quantity received, we will contact you only in the event of an exhibition opportunity.

Artists and curators are encouraged to review the gallery plan to ensure proposals are scaled appropriately.

Public artists and sculptors are encouraged to review KAC’s Public Art Map to learn more about sites and placements.

This specially curated selection supports KAC’s mission with items relevant to our community, collection, and current exhibitions.
