APPLICATION DUE APRIL 15, 2016
We are pleased to invite independent curators and arts professionals to submit exhibition proposals to be considered for the 2017 Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space exhibition schedule.
SELECTION PROCESS
Reviewed by the Artists Alliance Inc. Curatorial Advisory Committee–comprised of representatives from the local contemporary arts community–proposals will be selected based on conceptual vigor and artistic quality. Consideration will also be given to the individual/group’s ability to meet the artistic mission of Artists Alliance Inc and Cuchifritos Gallery. Successful applicants will articulate a particular need to exhibit within Cuchifritos Gallery and the surrounding community.
When submitting proposals, please carefully review and follow the submission guidelines outlined below.
Please note, you do not have to be a professionally trained curator to submit a proposal as submissions will be judged on merit; however previous exhibition experience will be weighed as an important factor in the selection process. We strongly encourage one, two, and three artist exhibitions, given the smaller scale of the gallery space. Artists who are acting in the curatorial role for the proposed exhibition may not submit a proposal that includes his/her own work.
SELECTION CRITERIA
– Quality of the proposed exhibition [preference will be given to new and site-specific work]
– Need to exhibit in Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space [based on Project Proposal]
