apexart solicits proposals for its International Open Call from February 1–March 1, 2024. Five winning proposals will become apexart exhibitions presented in their proposed locations around the world as part of our 2024-25 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of location or past experience, are invited to submit a proposal online.
The submission process
Proposals of up to 500 words should describe focused, idea-driven, original group exhibitions. Country and city will be noted. No biographical information, CVs, links, or images will be accepted, and proposals must be submitted in English. We encourage non-English speakers to write in their own language and use Google Translate, Bard or similar to translate to another language and then back to your language to assess how effective the translation is. Jurors are instructed to evaluate anonymous submissions based on the idea and not punctuation. See some examples of winning proposals here.
The selection process
apexart’s crowd-sourced voting system invites hundreds of international jurors to review proposals, on their own schedule over one month. The crowd-sourced jury is composed of more than 700 individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and international locations, including students from more than 20 participating university classes. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to make sure each submission receives the same consideration. apexart staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.
The results
The five winning proposals will be part of apexart’s 2024–2025 exhibition season and will receive an exhibition budget of up to 11,000 USD; have an exhibition brochure printed and mailed to over six thousand international recipients; advertising in major and local outlets. Working closely with the apexart team, curators will realize their original ideas into apexart exhibitions. Exhibition curators are challenged, encouraged, and required to work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into noteworthy focused, localized exhibitions.
