LIC Arts Open - Salon at Secret Arts

  •  

  • Open Call for a pop-up exhibit during the LIC Arts Open:

    THE SECRET SALON

    SECRET ARTS, LIC’s exciting new Art Space contains artist studios, gallery space, a theatre, dance and rehearsal studios, and more.  We are hosting our inaugural Secret Salon, which we hope will be a semi-regular event in the lobby and reception areas of Secret Arts.  This Salon will be taking place during the LIC Art Open as part of the Festival.   The deadline for submissions is April 20th, 2026.

    Media: We are open to a wide variety of 2D and 3D work, including painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, though sculptures or installations will have to be small and not require a large amount of floor space.  Preference is given to Queens-based artists, but the call is open to all.

    Selection Process:  We hope to hang as much art as is feasible for the space.  Subject matter can be anything that inspires. We are also seeking newer works but encourage professional artists of any and all ages to apply.

    Requirements: Work must usually be "gallery ready," meaning wired for hanging and properly labeled with name, title, and price.

    Submission Materials: Please submit digital images of the actual work you are submitting; no substitutions if your piece is chosen.
