Descanso Gardens invites curators, artists, collectives, cultural producers, and thinkers of all kinds to submit preliminary proposals for exhibitions and programs that align with Descanso Gardens’ mission to connect people with nature and one another, with a theme focused on water. Proposals are sought for exhibitions and cultural programs inspired by water history, policy, culture, science, and art, utilizing the Sturt Haaga Gallery, the Boddy House, and outdoor spaces throughout the botanical gardens.
