Emerging Curators is an open call invitation to independent curators who may not have had opportunities to present a project to an audience, or first time curators to submit a Project/Exhibition proposal to be part of Local Project’s 2018 exhibition calendar. This program will provide the curator with an exhibition space, guidance in marketing, a stipend and a printed catalog.
Exhibitions will be reviewed by a guest curator, we will then select 6 proposals for the year 2018 to happen in the LP gallery and at site specific locations.
The Emerging Curators will represent the vision of a new generation.
Application is FREE.
