The Oak Cliff Cultural Center (OC3) is accepting applications for the 2027 exhibition schedule

Applicants from visual artists to curators for solo and group exhibitions are encouraged to apply, with preference given to those in the DFW Metroplex. Each cycle hosts approximately eight to 10 exhibitions, according to their website.

Each awardee will work directly with the center’s gallery programs coordinator on planning, installing and marketing the exhibition. Individuals will also receive an honorarium and a chance to participate in the OC3 Frequencies podcast.

To apply, each proposal requires a resume for each participant, artist(s) and/or curator bio, a minimum 300 word artist(s) statement/ curator statement, and a minimum 500 word detailed exhibition proposal.

Portfolio requirements vary between curators and solo artists. For formatting guidelines and portfolio requirements, visit the submission website.
