Short Description
AGCC is currently accepting curatorial proposals for contemporary Visual art exhibitions in 2026 and 2027. Applications are due by 11:59 pm on August 15, 2025. Please read the information packet for more information and instructions on how our curatorial calls work.
Curatorial themes AGCC is interested in presenting:
- Contemporary themes that address urgent issues of our present-day society, local or global
- Curatorial themes that attempt to generate radical empathy and understanding for historically
marginalized groups and/or cultures - Proposals that demonstrate a strong understanding of how AGCC’s location adjacent to the Port of
LA and diverse communities of San Pedro relate to, and are a part of, Los Angeles - Experimental explorations that push beyond traditional use of media, blur the line between artist
and audience, or intersect with other disciplines of knowledge and creativity - Proposals that are intersectional of the concepts above.
Eligibility
Additional consideration will be given to artists and independent curators based in the greater Los Angeles area who do not already have a history of regularly showing or curating at the Center within the past 3 years. Artists and curators who have recently shown at the Center are still welcome to apply.
