Future Forward – Open Call for Student Artists at Fugue Gallery
141 CANAL STREET, 3RD FLOOR NEW YORK, NY
The Fugue Gallery invites emerging artists to submit work for our first ever Future Forward Exhibition! — a gallery group show for boundary-pushing artists who are exploring new ideas, new media, and new frontiers in art.
Future Forward spotlights upcoming artists who are asking big questions, trying new media, and breaking new ground. This open call is for emerging artists who are thinking about what’s next — in art, in culture, and the world around us.
Works will be featured in our 1st Edition Digital Gallery, and selected works will be shown IRL at Fugue Gallery. Chosen artists will be invited to collaborate and co-create the zine and in-person exhibition. The exhibition and zine will be shared across our social platforms as part of our commitment to fostering the next wave of artistic visionaries.
We’re looking for:
Unconventional or emerging media
Work that challenges traditional formats
New perspectives, themes, and aesthetics
Projects in progress or fully realized pieces
Ideas that look forward—artistically, socially, and philosophically
Who can apply:
Emerging artists
Artists working in any medium (painting, sculpture, digital, video, sound, performance, installation, mixed media, etc.)
Deadline: January 23, 2026 Questions? Reach out: admin@fuguegallery.com
