About This Opportunity

Contemporary Craft (CC) welcomes ongoing proposals for exhibitions in its newly established Zeve Regional Gallery. This opportunity offers a free exhibition space for artists, curators and collectives to showcase craft-centric projects, providing both a platform and support throughout the process.

Submissions should engage with craft medium and research, though this definition is intentionally broad — proposals may include installations, performances, and other interdisciplinary approaches that  highlight the creative diversity of the contemporary craft field. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis by Yu-San Cheng, Director of Visual Engagement of Contemporary Craft.

**Accepted proposal will receive a 3-3.5 month exhibition at the Regional Gallery.**
