MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
Throughline Collective accepts applications for membership on a rolling basis for any openings that may become available during each calendar year. If an opening in membership does become available, we usually promote this opportunity via our website, newsletter and social media channels. We will also reach out to applicants whose information we have on file for further steps.
General Membership Information:
Throughline is an artist-run space that is home to a collective of accomplished and dedicated artists who have local, national and international visibility. Located at 3909 Main Street in the heart of Houston, Throughline hosts a robust calendar of exhibitions, educational programs, and cooperative partnerships with diverse organizations. By providing a supportive environment for artists to showcase their work outside the traditional gallery system, Throughline’s culture empowers artists to develop and push their creative and professional ambitions, and to challenge convention through experimental and collaborative artworks and happenings.
Once per our designated exhibition cycle, Throughline artists create a two-person, four-week exhibition in collaboration with another collective member in our gallery space. They may show their own work, or curate a unique exhibition, and are encouraged to create programming such as artist talks or performances throughout their exhibition run. Additionally, member artists may sell their work in our gallery store for 100% of their sales and are eligible for occasional special group exhibition opportunities through the collective. Members must pay monthly dues of $130, are expected to contribute time to gallery operations and committee efforts, and must make the effort to attend monthly meetings.
