APPLICATION HERE: https://forms.gle/METcKtcP4LMu2PPw6The Institute of Contemporary Art Baltimore is pleased to announce an open call for our annual Flat File Program. The 2022 program will open in late November 2021 with an mini-exhibition of accepted works at our soon to be announced location in Station North. Due to COVID-19 and the Delta variant, we cannot predict if we will be able to have an full exhibition at this gallery; we are planning to produce a display of artworks along with having the actual flat files for viewing by appointment only. Individual works from the Flat File Program will be highlighted throughout the year in the gallery, on our website, and through social media. Works will be available for purchase throughout the year on our website and accessible in the gallery for browsing.
- Open to professional working artists in the Maryland/VA/DC area only. Currently enrolled students are not eligible to apply.
