Opportunity Overview
Emerging independent curators are invited to submit exhibition proposals. An artist fee is available for both curators and artists, along with a production budget for guest-curated exhibitions.
Rules
- Proposals may include up to two artists. The curator cannot be one of the exhibiting artists.
- Curators must contact potential artists before submitting proposals to confirm their interest.
- Artists and curators who have previously exhibited with Baxter St at CCNY must wait two full years before exhibiting again or submitting another proposal.
- Curators must be located within the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) at the time of the exhibition.
Guidelines
Baxter St at CCNY aims to exhibit work from emerging and under-represented lens-based artists. Special emphasis is on:
- Projects by emerging curators and artist-curators.
- Work contributing to contemporary art dialogue within lens-based arts or offering new perspectives on historical work.
- Projects pushing curatorial practice in innovative directions.
- Artists not represented by New York galleries.
Note: Due to limited gallery space, proposals that include the curator’s own work are discouraged.
