Proposals are accepted through an open call and selected by an outside selection panel, in consultation with Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington staff. The exhibitions selected for SOLOS 2026 will take place in one of two time slots, either February 13 – May 24, 2026 or June 12 – September 6, 2026. Once artists are selected, MoCA Arlington staff will work with artists to determine the timing for the selected artists.
