Tiger Strikes Asteroid 2025 Open Call

Tiger Strikes Asteroid 2025 Open Call
Deadline: December 1 2024

Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a network of artist-run spaces with locations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Greenville, SC. Each space is independently programmed and focuses on presenting a varied program of emerging and mid-career artists. Our goal is to bring people together, expand connections and build community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities.

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Philadelphia (TSA Philadelphia) is pleased to announce our Open Call 2025. We invite you to submit your work for an opportunity to be featured in a curated exhibition.
