solo exhibition applications now open for 2026

Bushwick Gallery is now accepting proposals for a limited number of solo exhibitions in our 2026 calendar. With only five solo exhibition slots available for the entire year, this is one of the gallery’s most selective and prestigious opportunities. Reserved for artists with a compelling, cohesive body of work and a refined curatorial perspective, these exhibitions offer a rare chance to take center stage in the heart of New York City’s contemporary art world.

Solo exhibitions at Bushwick Gallery are bespoke, elevated experiences designed to amplify artistic voices in a setting known for thought-provoking curation and high-caliber programming. Selected artists will present their work in a beautifully appointed gallery located in Bushwick, Brooklyn—one of the most vibrant and internationally recognized neighborhoods for artistic innovation.

Each solo show includes full-gallery access, a private opening event, personalized support, and promotion across Bushwick Gallery’s digital and collector networks. The exhibitions are strategically timed within our curated annual program, which in 2026 will feature six conceptual group exhibitions alongside this exclusive series of only five solo presentations.

Artists chosen for these solo shows join a selective cohort, gaining the opportunity to position their work within a respected, appointment-only gallery experience that attracts curators, collectors, and tastemakers from across New York and beyond. With limited availability and a strong emphasis on curatorial integrity, this is a premier opportunity for serious artists ready to elevate their practice and presence in one of the world’s most influential art scenes.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Due to the limited number of solo slots and high level of interest, early submission is strongly encouraged.
