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 based in historic Old Louisville. 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. The building's unique Châteauesque Victorian architecture lends credence to the gallery's name, known informally as “TCG.” 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.

Exhibition: The Surreal
April 1st, 2024 - May 1st, 2024
Surrealism is an artistic exploration of the human psyche, dreams, and the unconscious mind. Through bizarre and fantastical scenes, juxtaposition, or symbolism, we challenge you to capture and present images that defy logic and question the boundary of perception. Invite us to a realm where the conscious and unconscious blur and reality transform into the surreal.

Call For Entry: Abandoned

Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?
Abandoned 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 processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
