The Skirball Cultural Center presents a wide range of temporary exhibitions and actively seeks opportunities to foreground dynamic, impactful, joyful, and inclusive Jewish stories and artists.
Due to the volume of exhibition proposals, we are unable to respond to everyone individually. Our committee carefully reviews all submissions and will only be in touch with you if we decide to move the proposal forward to the next stage in our review process.
That said, we welcome proposals! Please submit your idea to exhibitions@skirball.org
Your submission should include:
- A short-written statement (one-page maximum) introducing the work, highlighting any connections to the Skirball Cultural Center's mission and including an artist bio if applicable.
- A note on whether the exhibition has a local Los Angeles dimension.
- Clear articulation of how the proposal connects to our mission. While you don’t need to address every aspect of our mission and values, please highlight any organic points of alignment.
- Images of the objects or artwork in the exhibition.
- Information about any AV, immersive elements, or participatory activities that are part of the proposed exhibition.
- A note indicating whether this is an original exhibition you’d like to develop in partnership with Skirball or a traveling exhibition you hope to present here.
- Details of previous exhibitions of the work (if applicable), along with any available press coverage.
We encourage you to explore our past exhibitions to get a sense of the kinds of stories we typically present.
We look forward to reviewing your proposal and thank you for your interest in Skirball exhibitions.
Please note we only review proposals received through exhibitions@skirball.org and no longer accept submissions via the mail or fax.
