CALL FOR ARTWORKS: SOLO EXHIBITIONS AT CSU SPUR

Exhibition proposals around themes of food, water and health are encouraged.  

Submissions will be received on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly. Exhibition proposals are for the years 2026-2027. This call will close on Nov. 1, 2026. If your proposal is selected to move forward, you will be contacted by a CSU Spur staff member.
