Call for Art: 30 Under 30

The Greater Denton Arts Council invites Texas-based artists age 30 and under to apply for 30 Under 30, a GDAC Signature exhibition highlighting emerging voices shaping contemporary art across the state.

This exhibition celebrates innovation across all media, from traditional forms to experimental and interdisciplinary practices. In past years, 30 Under 30 has featured works engaging with contemporary issues, identity, and new media—offering a dynamic snapshot of the ideas and perspectives driving the next generation of artists in Texas.

📍 Open to artists currently residing in Texas

📍 All media accepted

📍 No minimum age requirement (student artists encouraged to apply)

This year’s exhibition will take place in our Gough Gallery, an intimate space that invites thoughtful consideration of scale and installation. While all submissions are welcome, artists are encouraged to keep spatial limitations in mind when proposing larger or immersive works.

Call Open: May 2 – June 27, 2026 (11:59 PM) Apply Here!

We look forward to seeing how artists across Texas continue to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and redefine what contemporary art can be.
