2026 Call for Exhibition Proposals
Deadline: April 15, 2026
As a DIY space, we find ourselves in a unique position: not beholden to capital, granting organizations, or institutions. We answer to no one but ourselves and the community. It’s an old cliche that art’s job is to hold a mirror up to this world, however catastrophic and disheartening. Artists play a critical role in tackling the ugliness and offering alternatives. Now more than ever we want this space to be a platform for art that is socially-focused, concept-driven, and radical.
We want to see: Art that gives voice to the voiceless. Art that confronts current or ongoing political violence and colonialism. Art that addresses environmental crises. Art that challenges the rot of corporate greed and techo-capitalism. Art that envisions alternatives. Art that nurtures social bonds as a radical act. Art that focuses on the collective rather than the individual. Art that’s disruptive. Art that’s playful. Art that doesn’t feign to have all the answers, but asks tough questions. If we are living in unprecedented times, the art of our time should reflect that fact.
Seeking proposals for month-long group or solo exhibitions in any medium (2D, 3D, installation, video, performances, events series) that explore any of the themes above.
Please email proposals to [email protected]
Proposals should include:

Join the League of Acquaintances
The L.o.A. (League of Acquaintances) is a group of folks joined together by their belief in the value of this space: a welcoming place with low barrier of entry where artists can experiment, make connections, and share work with the community. This space, through its many different iterations, has been an important site for experimental art for over two decades in Albuquerque, and and we want to keep it thriving! We run the space as a collective, out of pocket, negotiating responsibilities depending on our personal lives and availability.
