Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) is currently seeking curatorial proposals for guest curated contemporary visual art exhibitions in 2026 and 2027. 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. Proposals are due by 11:59pm on August 15, 2025. 

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.

Exhibition Opportunity:

• Up to 2,000 square feet of exhibition space
• Curator Honorarium of $500
• Artist Honorariums ranging between $100 – $450 per artist (dependent on size of group show, site specific works/special considerations, budget availability, etc.)
• Installation by gallery staff
• Marketing materials and publicity
• Gallery didactics
• Gallery supervision during public hours Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays, 10am – 5pm
• Exhibitions will open to the public for a 6 – 15 week period with an additional 2-week installation period
