The intention behind these project rooms is to provide and cultivate a supportive environment for the artists to showcase their work in an inexpensive gallery space. Melt Gallery will provide the gallery attendant, handle client inquiries and transactions and promote the Artist's work on our website and through our social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram). Our gallery space is open and welcome to all artists and peoples regardless of their age, gender, orientation, backgrounds, etc. We have a zero-tolerance discrimination policy within our gallery to make this environment safe for all, attendees and artists alike. Apply below and we will send you our Rental Agreement for your review. Duo exhibitions will be considered and are subject to an extra surcharge on the rental fee. Duo exhibitions are considered on a per case basis.

The FOCUS gallery is for rent for artists working in any medium, while the FORMAT gallery primarily showcases work outside the 2D realm, in sculpture, video, or installation. However, both galleries are open to applications from artists working in any medium.
