2027 Exhibition Program

Applications close 21 September at 11:59 pm

Great Space Gallery is now accepting exhibition applications for our January to July 2027 program.

We welcome applications from solo artists, artist collectives, curators and group shows working across all forms of visual art, including photography, painting, sculpture, installation, video, printmaking, mixed media and experimental practices.

Great Space is the broader creative home of Kindred Cameras, bringing our gallery, studios and creative community together under one name. As we move into this next chapter, we’re looking to support a diverse program of exhibitions that are thoughtful, engaging and community-minded.

Artists can apply to hire either half of the gallery or the full gallery, with both DIY and Full Service exhibition packages available. If you apply for half-gallery hire, your opening night may be shared with the artist or group exhibiting in the other half of the space. This creates a larger, more energetic opening event and gives artists the chance to share audiences, community and celebration.

Whether you’re an experienced exhibiting artist or preparing for your first major show, we’d love to hear from you.
