Gallery ATARAH offers multiple pathways for artists to get involved and share their work within our space. We're committed to supporting practices rooted in authentic self-exploration and genuine engagement with personal narrative. If you or someone you know creates work that you feel aligns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We seek artists whose practices involve genuine dialogue with themselves—work that takes emotional risks and invites connection through vulnerability and truth.
Those who've built their practice without permission—driven not by trends or gatekeepers, but by an honest need to make the invisible visible. Artists who use their own experience as both subject and method, transforming personal truth into work that invites others in. If you've spent late nights in the studio wrestling with what needs to be said, if you've learned your craft through dedication rather than pedigree, if you make work that comes from somewhere real and takes genuine risks—this space is for you. Gallery ATARAH exists to support practices rooted in authenticity over marketability, emotional courage over safe distance, and the belief that art matters most when it emerges from honest dialogue with oneself. We're not looking for polish without substance or concept without feeling. We're looking for artists whose work carries the weight of genuine exploration—those willing to be vulnerable in their practice because they understand that's where connection begins. If this resonates, we want to see what you're making.
The Salon Show brings together 10-20 contemporary artists twice a year in professionally curated group exhibitions. Contemporary work is displayed salon-style alongside vintage and antique pieces from the gallery's collection, creating dialogue across time and practice.
Open submissions, no submission fee, no predetermined themes. Artists benefit from professional presentation, marketing support, and an artist-friendly 65/35 commission split.
