Gallery Artist Application — INIT 2026

Section 1 — Before You Apply

We curate a small number of artists each year whose work resonates with the culture and feeling of INIT. We're looking for finished, display-ready work and artists who want it to be genuinely seen. We can't offer artist fees, framing, or shipping in 2026. What we can offer is the wall space and the audience.

If that works for you — we want to hear from you.
