The Chateau Gallery
A Châteauesque contemporary art gallery and studio based in the heart of the Historic Old Louisville Preservation District
The Chateau Gallery is a contemporary hybrid art and studio loosely based in historic Old Louisville. The building's unique Châteauesque Victorian architecture lends credence to the gallery's name, known informally as “TCG.” TCG's narrative is as compelling as the space housed within its walls. The original building, built on the tailwind of the Southern Exhibition, is one of the first Gilded Age mansions built on Third Street's Millionaire's Row. Throughout its many lives, the monolithic building served as the estate of a tobacco baron, a funeral home, The Kentucky College of Barbering, an unlicensed child care center, a "drug dealer's palace," and a law office.
TCG is an avant-garde goliath of brick and mortar, wooden beams, and traditional white gallery walls — a constant construction project occupying a time and place between the antique and the contemporary. TCG’s mission is to use our platform to transcend borders and broadcast multi-faceted viewpoints through artistic, ideological, and philosophical exchange. Our current calls for entries, scheduled events, and submission forms are listed on our call for entries page. Check out our exhibitions page for past and current exhibitions.

Photo Exhibition: Lucid — In Dreams
September 1st, 2025 - October 1st, 2025
Dreams offer us a glimpse into the realm of the unconscious. Although the images flickering and manifesting behind our eyes may seem bizarre and nonsensical, analysis of one's dreams can reveal their essence. Beneath the surface of our consciousness, the latent content of dreams illustrates the hidden meaning of our thoughts, drives, and desires. What is revealed to you as you sleep and perchance to dream? What images make you stop and ask—am I dreaming?

Call For Entry: Pharmacopoeia
International Submission Deadline:

Pharmacopeia: noun. What does this term bring to your mind's eye? Do you find yourself assembling an archive of substances, reflecting on memories of addiction, recovery, or relapse? Is your mind a panopticon of disorder, a chaotic realm of fear and loathing from which you yearn to break through? Do you habitually utilize recreational substances in your practice, or were you just intoxicated when you created something?
Pharmacopoeia is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative photographic processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
