Seeking applications from women and nonbinary artists in Texas who break new ground in their approach to form, content, and ideas. Solo exhibitions are seven weeks, beginning March 2026 and running through July 2027.

Women & Their Work (W&TW) seeks artists who create innovative, contemporary art that breaks new ground in its approach to form, content, and ideas. Selections are based on an evaluation of work samples submitted and ideas proposed; we look for a strong, consistent aesthetic vision. We strongly encourage selected artists to create new work for their exhibition at W&TW; no work that has previously been exhibited in Austin will be accepted for exhibition. The work in the application should demonstrate that you are capable in vision and scope of creating a powerful solo exhibition that can command an approximately 1,700 square foot gallery space.

Women artists living anywhere in Texas who have not had a solo exhibition at W&TW within the past ten years are eligible. Emerging, mid-career, and established artists are invited to apply. Our curatorial priority is to present diverse experiences and perspectives. We strive for each exhibition season to represent a geographically, culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse group. Women of color are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants cannot currently be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education.

The 2024 jury panel is comprised of W&TW artist alumnae Shana Hoehn and Vicki Meek, as well as curator Claudia Zapata. Every application is carefully reviewed, considered, and discussed.

Please upload your application by January 8, 2025 at 11:59pm. Late applications will not be accepted. We encourage you to begin your application early. womenandtheirwork.org/apply
