OPEN CALL FOR APEXART’S GROUP EXHIBITION AT NYC
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 10,000 USD exhibition budget and become apexart exhibitions at the NYC space as part of the 2025–26 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of experience level or location, are invited to submit a proposal online.
The submission process
Proposals should describe focused, idea-driven, original group exhibitions. No biographical info, CVs, links, or images will be accepted. Submissions cannot exceed 500 words and submitted in English. Jurors rate proposals based on their personal interest, cultural assessment, content and communicating the idea.
The selection process
Rather than convene a five-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 more than 600 individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and international locations including students from 20 participating university classes who will rate the proposals. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to ensure each submission receives equal consideration resulting in more than 20,000 votes or almost 500 proposals. apexart staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.
The results
Each of the five winning proposals receives an exhibition budget of 10,000 USD; apexart’s exhibition brochure, printed and mailed to over six thousand international recipients; and be part of apexart’s 2025–26 exhibition season. apexart provides full admin and logistics support, assisting curators to realize their original ideas into exhibitions. Exhibition curators must work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into focused, noteworthy exhibitions.
To submit an exhibition proposal and learn more about the process, visit here and submit an idea between October 1 and October 31, 2024.
