Find a Show: Groundworks hosts new gallery exhibits at least once each month. Our gallery is open to submissions from any artist regardless of skill level, and youth under 24 are especially encouraged to submit. The Groundworks gallery hosts both themed group shows (representing many artists) and solo shows (representing the work of an individual artist). If you're interested in hosting a solo show and/or in being included on our artist registry, please email art@groundworkstucson.com with inquiries.
Apply to a Call for Art: Groundworks periodically posts calls for art on this website page, social media, our blog, and through email. Check back here periodically or sign up for our newsletter for future calls for art! The call to art will include a link to an application form with questions about the work you wish to submit.
Drop Off Your Work: If your application is accepted, you will be notified via email and asked to coordinate a drop-off time to bring your work into the space.
Pick Up Your Work: After each exhibit, you will be contacted via email and asked to coordinate a pick-up time to collect your work to take out of the space.

2020: 3D Virtual Grand Opening Tour
2021: GWX partnered with &gallery, Subspace Tucson, and the Blacklidge Community Collective to produce Creation in Isolation.
This was a 3-D, immersive art experience that highlighted over 50 local artists and musicians who have persevered in creating new works throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This event contained a virtual tour through all four spaces which involved digital art, physical mediums, short films, music videos, and live performances.

2024: RISO ADJACENT - Exhibit by the UA Riso Club
The UA RISO Club is happy to invite you to their first external exhibit. This showcase boasts a delightful array of creative endeavors from their members and was curated completely by the group. Although the RISO club focuses on underrepresented printmaking techniques, you'll find a lot of surprising art pieces that show the amazing range of these artists and makers.
