exhibition proposals
To commemorate the Museum of African American Art's milestone 50th anniversary, our exhibitions will feature selected works from the museum's permanent collection from January through December 2026.
We appreciate the exhibition inquiries received from artists in the community who have visited the Museum of African American Art's exhibition space on Level 2, Suite 283, inside Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.
Unfortunately, we are unable to consider unsolicited or walk-in exhibit proposals. At our sole discretion, the museum may invite artists, curators, collectors, and institutions (or their representatives) to submit exhibit proposals. The submission of an exhibit proposal or images of artwork, at the museum's request or otherwise, does not constitute an exhibit agreement or the promise of a future exhibition at the Museum of African American Art.
Invited exhibition proposals are reviewed by the Executive Director and the Exhibition Committee of the MAAA Board of Directors. The museum considers several factors, including but not limited to: timeliness of the proposed exhibit, location of the artist and artwork, relevance to the museum's mission and priorities, readiness of the artwork for display, sponsorship and marketing, community interest, and art transportation and installation requirements.
To support artists in our community, MAAA may propose online exhibitions, spotlight artists on the MAAA website, or feature artists' work on our social media channels instead of creating in-person exhibitions at the museum. Approval of both the artist and the museum is required for online exhibitions, website spotlights, and social media posts.
