apexart is soliciting idea based group exhibition proposals for its NYC Open Call October 1-31, 2024. Five winning proposals will receive up to a $10k exhibition budget and become apexart exhibitions at our NYC space as part of our 2025-26 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of experience level or location, are invited to submit a proposal online
Submission process
Submit 500 word proposals describing a focused, idea-driven, original group exhibition. No biographical info, CVs, links, or images needed or accepted. Submissions should be submitted in English. Jurors rate anonymous proposals based on their personal interest, cultural assessment, content and communicating the idea, See examples of winning proposals here.
Selection process
Rather than convene a 5-person NYC panel to review hundreds of ideas, apexart’s crowd-sourced voting system involves hundreds of jurors from more than 75 countries to review proposals on their own schedule. The jury is composed of almost 800 individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and international locations including students from 20+ participating university classes. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to ensure each submission receives equal consideration resulting in more than 20,000 votes on almost 500 proposals. apexart staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.
To submit a proposal visit https://apexart.org/opencalls.php between October 1 and October 31, 2024.
