Call for Submissions 2025
Stride Gallery
Deadline: July 18, 2025 at 11:59pm MT
Stride Gallery is excited to announce our 2025 call for submissions!
This call for submissions is the first of its kind for our new programming model, which offers both a studio residency and an exhibition for each selected artist.
For this call, we will be programming 7 artists, with residencies starting in Winter 2026 until Summer 2027.
From this point onwards, we plan to make this an annual Call for Submissions, taking applications each Spring, and subsequently programming four artists each year, with their residencies beginning Fall of the following year.
Programming Philosophy & Description
Each artist will begin with a 3-month long studio residency where they are encouraged to create, research and experiment in any way they see fit. Through peer mentorship, staff will work alongside the artist helping them reach self-appointed goals and intentions. Whether that be support in application and grant writing, learning technical skills such as installation and strike of exhibitions, or helping them reach new networks of artists and curators to build their community.
After completing their residency, the artist will create an exhibition in our gallery space. We’ll be mentoring the artists through the process of creating an exhibition throughout their residency; this model gives artists a chance to both be in process and present their work to the community. Each exhibition will be 8-10 weeks long, and will take place directly after the end of the artists’ residency.
We also want to relay that artists are not expected to create a full exhibition in the 3-month residency; the two parts are not interlinked unless that’s the artist’s intention. Exhibitions can feature older work, experiments made throughout the studio residency, etc.
