What acceptance means
Your own permanent home in the Museum
Selected artists receive a permanent exhibition in The People's Gallery. Your exhibition is not a temporary post or feed item — it becomes part of the Museum's permanent People's Gallery.
A unique floor number
Every accepted artist is assigned their own floor, making your gallery easy to find and revisit.
Permanent exhibition
Your work remains in the Museum for the long term — not a rotation, not a feed, not a temporary feature.
Artists retain full ownership of their work. Selected exhibitions are presented by the Museum as part of The People's Gallery.
Curatorial requirements
24 images. One exhibition.
We review the proposal as a whole — not as individual artworks.
The works should belong together through a subject, style, material, period of your practice, or another clear curatorial thread. Sequencing, coherence, and clarity matter.
A retrospective can also work if the selection gives viewers a clear sense of your artistic journey.
Eligible media
Painting
Drawing
Illustration
Photography
Printmaking
Not accepted
— Primarily AI-generated or AI-assisted artwork
— Works substantially replicating existing copyrighted material
— Proposals where authorship cannot be clearly established
How your exhibition is reviewed
1
Artistic originality & intent
Is the work distinctly yours, with a clear artistic perspective and purpose?
2
Coherence & clarity of presentation
Do the 24 images work together as a unified, well-sequenced exhibition?
3
Image quality
Are your works photographed or scanned cleanly, cropped well, and presented in the correct format?
Non-selection does not mean the work lacks value. It only means the proposal was not the right fit for this curatorial round.
File requirements
PNG
Required format
Cropped
No borders or distracting backgrounds
≤ 15 MB
Maximum per image
Works are exhibited digitally. A clean, well-lit photograph or scan is essential — physical scale does not carry over into the Museum environment.
