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: The Art of Abandonment
August 1st, 2025 - September 1st, 2025
The Art of Abandonment explores abandoned and rediscovered objects, locations, and structures. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the memory of ourselves: and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and ephemera convey about humanity as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and whom or what are we abandoning?
Featuring: Andrea Gluckman, Ben De Marco, Brad Perkins, Damien Smith, David Cohen, David Hanson, Don Hicks, Eric Stein, Geneveive Selph, Heather Hacker, Jeff Schewe, Jerry LoFaro, Jim Geitgey, Jordan Keramidas, Kelly Quinn, Kelsey Sasser, Les Schmidt, Matt Temple, Manuel Estévez Murado, Miachelle Breese, Rebecca Skinner, Sarah Lilja, Steve Lovegrove, Tianqiutao Chen, Tom Fox, Wright Schickli

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? Did 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.
