LCC 2027 Call for Exhibition Proposals

The Latino Cultural Center in Dallas is now accepting proposals from visual artists and curators for the 2027 exhibition calendar. The deadline to submit is July 15, 2026.

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 Latino arts and promotes local artists and growth within the 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. The LCC highlights proposals that celebrate the Latino diaspora or that brings about important conversations and topics that impact the Latino community. The Latino Cultural Center is a division of the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.

Presenting approximately 6-8 exhibitions for the 2027 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.

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