BACKGROUND

The Westbeth Gallery is a nonprofit fine arts gallery located within Westbeth Artist Housing in
the West Village in Manhattan. The gallery is operated by the Westbeth Artists Residents
Council which is a volunteer organization elected by the residents of Westbeth. Exhibitors are
given latitude in the content and arrangement of their work. Exhibitors are expected to work
independently to curate, promote and install their exhibition professionally.
The gallery is seeking diverse proposals from institutions, curators or individual artists for
exhibitions in 2026. Each exhibition is approximately three weeks in length and must use all
four rooms of our 2900 square foot gallery. Proposed exhibitions should be composed of
artwork that is the product of professional artists and executed in the last five years. We
encourage group shows.
