Submission Guidelines
As of April 2022, the Grey Art Gallery at NYU has put a temporary pause on exhibition proposals and will not be able to respond to submissions. For your reference, the following instructions will remain online during this pause.
The Grey Art Gallery will review proposals from curators and art institutions. However, before submitting a proposal, please keep in mind that given our staff size, the academic calendar, and limited resources, the Grey hosts only three exhibitions a year, one of which we originate ourselves, and is typically booked three years in advance. Additionally, the Grey shows relatively few solo exhibitions of contemporary artists since there are so many New York venues dedicated to this purpose. Although our shows are certainly diverse, they tend to be more historical in nature and are usually presented in collaboration with NYU faculty and staff.
Please take time to view our website, look into previously held exhibitions, and consider our mission before submitting your proposal.
To submit a proposal, please mail the following items to the Grey Art Gallery.
- A written statement
- A printed sample of images to be included in the exhibition (no digital files, please)
- Budget
- Space requirements
