Have your work featured in an exhibition at DAC!

The District Architecture Center is seeking architecture-themed and design-themed artwork by artists, architects, and designers (including students) for inclusion in our ARTS + ARCHITECTURE 2025 exhibit. Each work of art accepted into the exhibition will earn artists the chance to be exhibited at DAC, and to have a public forum through which to sell their art (if chosen to do so).

The ARTS + ARCHITECTURE 2025 exhibition will be on display at the District Architecture Center from January 2025 to April 2025. If the artist so chooses, artwork can be marked for sale by DAC and proceeds will go 100% to the artist themselves.

DAC will promote artists included in the exhibition through media outreach, our website, and targeted email and social media campaigns to all of our followers. We are open to a wide interpretation of what architecture-themed and design-themed artwork is, so if you think your work fits those descriptions in any way, we encourage you to submit 1-6 works for consideration (there is no entry fee)! 

We are open to submissions in all mediums, but works must fit one of the following categories:

● 2D Artwork: ​​Prints, Paintings, Drawings, Collages, etc.
● 3D Artwork: ​​Sculptures, Light Fixtures, Ceramics, Architecture Models, etc.
● Digital Artwork: ​​Videos, Sound Installations, Music Albums, etc.
