Call for Art: Kinhouse

Call for Art

Kinhouse Gallery is seeking work for their first open call! Following the legacy of Stay Home Gallery in Paris, TN, we are thrilled to share our new space, vision, and art from the artists we love with our community in Fort Wayne, IN.

For this show we are looking for work that embodies the spirit of our chosen name “Kinhouse”. The term “Kin” refers to a persons sense of belonging - whether chosen or not, blood relative or friend, the spirit of the word embodies folks who a person makes a life with. The term “House” refers to a building in which people live, but also a body, a sense of place, an intentional gathering for comfort, coziness, or safe experiences. We want to see art that considers both or one of these terms… that speaks to our collective or individual sense of belonging, grounding, rooting, and connecting. Submissions with thematic elements related to the domestic, caregiving, place, legacy, and community are encouraged.

We welcome submissions from persons of all genders, whether caregiver or not, homeowner or not. Work must be submitted in its finished state (no works in progress) and available to be shown during the months of October and November 2024.

Submission Fee:

$15 for 1-3 entries

For the purposes of this process an “entry” is an individual work of art, regardless of the number of images used to represent it in the submission. Fees are non-refundable. All art mediums are accepted for consideration, however if you are submitting a video work you will need to provide a display.

Please pay submission fee here. Take a screen shot of your completed payment to upload in your application.

This show will be juried by Kinhouse Co-Directors, Dana Caldera and Kaylan Buteyn
