apexart will accept proposals for its International Open Call from February 1 – March 1, 2023. Four winning proposals will become apexart exhibitions presented in their selected locations around the world as part of our 2023-24 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, and the country and city in which they are to take
place. No biographical information, CVs, links, or images will be accepted, and
proposals must be submitted in English. Jurors rate anonymous submissions based
on the idea only. See examples of winning proposals here:
The Selection Process
Rather than convene a panel of a few art world people to review hundreds
of ideas, apexart’s crowd-sourced voting system invites hundreds of
international jurors to review proposals on their own schedule. The
crowd-sourced jury is composed of more than 600 individuals from a wide variety
of professional backgrounds and international locations – including students
from 17+ participating university classes – who will vote on the proposals.
Proposals are anonymous and randomised 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 four winning proposals will each receive an exhibition budget of up
to $11,000; have an exhibition brochure printed and mailed to over 6,000
international recipients; advertising in major and local outlets; and will be
part of apexart’s 2023-2024 exhibition season. Working closely with the apexart
team, curators will realise 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 small, focused,
noteworthy exhibitions.
