Franchise 2012: World-Wide Curatorial Open Call

Based on the idea of creating a franchise, apexart is once again
holding our worldwide open call for proposals for group exhibitions to
be presented anywhere in the world other than New York City.
 
From May 26 to June 30, 2011 apexart is accepting 450-word submissions
outlining your idea for an exhibition. Specific artists and venues need
not be determined, but the concept should be well developed and the city
specified. Two winners selected by a jury will be the director, curator
and/or staff of their own month-long apexart franchise with an $8,000
exhibition budget, a modest salary, and almost complete control.
 
apexart provides the funding along with the necessary guidance and
administrative support to make the curated exhibition happen. This
includes an apexart brochure in an edition of 10,000 with an essay from
the curator that is distributed around the world to more than 108
countries.
 
The Franchise is an opportunity to help bring an idea to fruition in a
new place and to illustrate that the center of the world is wherever
you are.
