Open Calls

Angels Gate Cultural Center hosts a diverse range of contemporary art exhibitions in our 3000 square foot gallery space at the center. Occasionally, AGCC invites guest curators to propose exhibitions that investigate the contemporary discourse in art and examine notions of community.

Current Curatorial Call

AGCC is requesting exhibition proposals with unique curatorial perspectives and approaches that are interested in investigating contemporary culture through a diverse array of artistic practices, aesthetic sensibilities, experimentation, and innovation.

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. 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.
