Pierce Street Art - Call for Artists 2026-2027 Calendar

About this call

Pierce Street Art is an artist-run exhibition space dedicated to supporting contemporary artists and fostering meaningful creative exchange within our community.

We produce a limited number of curated exhibitions each year, with a focus on thoughtful presentation, strong visual dialogue, and connection between artists and audience. This open call is for your work to be considered in our calendar year of exhibitions.

Pierce Street Art prioritizes artists working in Omaha and the surrounding region.

Selected artists may be considered for:
– Inclusion in curated group exhibitions
– Future exhibition opportunities
– Solo exhibitions within the space
– Artist talks, panels, and programming
– Ongoing relationships with Pierce Street Art

This is a selective, curated opportunity. We are intentional about building each exhibition as a cohesive experience, considering not only individual works but how they exist in dialogue with one another within the space.
