Gallery 263, a nonprofit community arts organization in Somerville, Massachusetts, invites Massachusetts-based visual artists working in drawing, painting, collage, photography, fiber, and other two-dimensional media to apply for the 2026-27 Small Works Project cohort. This annual project presents original, quality artwork in flat file drawers in the gallery and on the website. Artists will be selected by the staff and board of Gallery 263 based on the quality of their work and commitment to their practice. With the guidance of Gallery 263 staff, visitors will be able to carefully browse and handle works from the flat files. Participating artists will be able to display works in their flat file drawer, with the ability to add or remove work as they like during the 12-month period (September 2026 – August 2027). Works will be stacked in each drawer. Artists are encouraged to replace sold pieces with new work. The drawers, located at the back of the gallery, are open for viewing during gallery hours or by appointment. Artists of all career levels are welcome to submit. Submission criteria: 5-10 images of work including title, year, media, dimensions, price; all work must be available for purchase for $350 or less; work should have been made within the past five years; maximum dimensions are 11 x 14 inches with a maximum thickness of 1.5 inches; create a single PDF file containing your 5-10 artwork images; submitted work should be unframed and unmounted; a CV no longer than 2 pages. Gallery 263 does not take a commission for sales; however, they suggest a 30% donation back to the gallery. 12 artists will be selected for the cohort.
