XOXO Gallery is pleased to present SHIT SHOW our inaugural benefit exhibition just in time for Women's History Month (March). SHIT SHOW 2025 marks the FIRST year of our annual benefit exhibition. SHIT SHOW is modeled around the Salon de Refuse in an attempt to normalize and reclaim rejection. As a result we will exhibit rejection letters alongside the artwork (via QR code). SHIT SHOW is a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED exhibition opportunity. There is NO jurying (say no to rejection!).

To participate please complete the below google form. Due to size limitations we will accept the FIRST 60 2D artworks submitted and the FRIST 10 3D artworks submitted. Submissions will CLOSE once the capacity is reached. Join the resistance and apply today!

As XOXO Gallery is an artist-run space founded by 12 members of the Goxxip Girl Collective, we support our initiatives through member dues. This benefit would help support our efforts to continue to create curatorial and exhibition opportunities for artists in Baltimore and beyond. XOXO Gallery is a curatorial initiative, not exclusive to the Goxxip Girl Collective, meaning anyone and everyone is eligible to apply to our open calls regardless of gender.
