Baxter st Open Call for Curator

The current open call will open on Thursday April 26th and will close Thursday June 13th, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST.

Emerging independent curators are invited to submit exhibition proposals. Please note that there is an artist fee available for both curators and artists as well as a production budget for guest curated exhibitions.

Rules:

  1. Curatorial Proposals may have up to two artists, and may not include the curator as an exhibiting artist.
  2. Potential artists must be contacted by curators prior to submission of proposal to confirm interest.
  3. Artists and curators that have previously exhibited with Baxter St at CCNY must wait two full years before exhibiting again and/or submitting another proposal.
  4. Curators applying must be located within the tri-state (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) area at the time of the exhibition.

Guidelines:

Baxter St at CCNY is committed to exhibiting work from emerging and under-represented lens based artists. We are also especially committed to exhibiting:

  1. Projects from emerging curators and artist-curators.
  2. Work that contributes to the ongoing dialogue about contemporary art practices within lens based arts or puts a new perspective on historical work.
  3. Projects that push curatorial practice in new and interesting directions.
  4. Projects that show artists not already represented by New York galleries.

Please keep in mind our limited gallery space while proposing your project. Baxter St at CCNY strongly discourages proposals from curators that include their own work as part of the exhibition.
