Latino Cultural Center: 2026 Exhibition Proposal Form

The Latino Cultural Center in Dallas is currently accepting proposals from visual artists and curators for the 2026 exhibition calendar. The deadline to apply is November 15, 2025.

The Latino Cultural Center (LCC) is committed to enriching and empowering the Dallas community through arts and culture programming that is inclusive and encourages communication that supports and promotes local artists while nurturing knowledge and growth within the community. The LCC looks for proposals that celebrate or highlight the Latino diaspora or that brings about important conversations and topics that impact the Latino community. While the Center may be culturally specific, our programs and exhibitions are not ethnically exclusive and welcome a broad range of proposals for the space.

Presenting approximately 6-8 exhibitions for the 2026 year, proposals will be reviewed with accompanying programming including artist led workshop and/or guest lectures. The LCC Galleries aim to present a range of artistic approaches, mediums, and voices. The Latino Cultural Center is a division of the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.

Exhibition proposals from visual artists and curators will be accepted and reviewed for consideration in the programming. Please consider the aesthetic strengths of their work and how it will provide an opportunity for the community to engage with relevant topics and creative or social ideas.
