Submission Guidelines

Longform Content

Exhibition proposal submissions are paused at this time. Please check this page for future updates.


The Grey Art Museum will review proposals from art institutions that are touring exhibitions. We are currently not in a position to undertake organizing exhibitions with guest curators. Additionally, the Grey shows relatively few solo exhibitions of contemporary artists since there are so many New York venues dedicated to this purpose. Although our shows are certainly diverse, they tend to be more historical in nature and are usually presented in collaboration with NYU faculty and staff.

Please take time to view our website, look into previously held exhibitions, and consider our mission before submitting your proposal.

To submit a proposal, please email or mail the following items to the Grey Art Museum.

—A written statement

—A sample of images to be included in the exhibition

—Budget/Estimated fees

—Space requirements

Mail to:
Grey Art Museum
New York University
20 Cooper Square

Due to the high volume of proposals we receive, it may take up to six months to respond to your submission. We cannot return any proposal materials.
