new work

For our 2027 and 2028 NEW WORK Focus on Los Angeles program, we are seeking applications from Los Angeles–based visual artists. Two artists or collaborative teams will be selected, one for 2027 and one for 2028.

Each selected artist will receive a $1,500 project commission, an exhibition at Winslow Garage, and a feature in our ONE WORK online publication series.

This opportunity supports innovative, self-contained projects that are intended to be fully realized within the exhibition space and have not been previously exhibited. Projects should be completed by June in their respective year, 2027 or 2028. We are particularly interested in proposals that push the artist’s practice forward, take risks, and explore new directions. We actively support research-based, process-oriented, and interdisciplinary practices, especially those that engage critical inquiry and are realized through installation, video, sound, or other spatial formats.

Applications will be reviewed in two phases. An initial review will be conducted by past grant recipients and curators. Finalists will then be evaluated by our advisory board and the director of Winslow Garage. Selected finalists will participate in an online studio visit to share additional details and discuss the development of their proposed project.

Applicants will be evaluated based on the conceptual strength of their proposal, the relationship of the work to the exhibition space, and the quality and consistency of past work.
