Sunroom Project Space

About the Open Call

Wave Hill invites proposals for artist projects that thoughtfully respond to and engage with the site of Wave Hill—its plant collections, history, design, and architecture—with a focus on the interconnected relationships between nature, culture, and place. For the 2027 season, Wave Hill is especially interested in projects that recognize ancestral wisdom in relation to our connection with the earth and soil. Four artists will be selected for solo presentations. Artists receive an honorarium of $2,000 each, exhibition and professional development support, and nine to twelve months to research and develop their ideas.

What is Offered

$2,000 honorarium, exhibition opportunity, and professional development support.

Requirements

Artists must work across media, be in the early stages of their career, and live within a 50-mile radius of the Bronx. Not eligible: students, artists with commercial gallery representation, or those who previously exhibited a site-specific project at Wave Hill or participated in the 2026 Winter Workspace program.
