An Installation at Unscripted Spaces interior design showroom.

Activated Spaces invites local visual artists to apply for In Situ: La Jolla, a curated installation inside Unscripted Spaces, an ultra high-end modern interior design showroom in La Jolla Village.

This exhibition places artwork directly within a fully realized residential setting rather than a traditional gallery environment. Selected artists will present their work inside a two-story luxury showroom designed as livable apartments, offering a unique opportunity for artists to demonstrate how art functions within thoughtfully designed interiors.

We are accepting all genres and mediums. Painting, photography, sculpture, textile, mixed media, and experimental work are all welcome. The goal is to create a layered environment in dialogue with a refined, ultra modern space. Work that introduces depth, material presence, texture, and strong visual identity is encouraged.

This project emphasizes exposure to interior designers. The opening reception and follow-up events will intentionally bring local designers into the space to meet artists and explore opportunities for collaboration, placement, and sales.

Artists of all backgrounds and identities are welcome.

We offer additional 6 display spaces for a separate outdoor pop-up installation during the April 3 First Friday La Jolla Village Art Walk. This street-level display is independent from the interior exhibition and offers additional public visibility.

Artists may express interest in the pop-up installation during submission at no additional cost. Only six spots are available. Selected artists are responsible for setting up and taking down their outdoor display on April 3.

• Artist must be a resident of San Diego County, CA
• All mediums are welcome.
• Wall-hanging artwork work must be wired and ready to hang or exhibit (no sawtooth hangers; unwired work will be juried out)
• Maximum footprint for the floor-standing artwork is 30"x30"
• We accept large scale wall art. Artists are responsible for the delivery and must be present at the installation of their large scale work.

• $22 for up to two pieces
• $35 for up to four pieces
