PLEASE NOTE: The A.P.E. curation committee meets remotely, so we ask that all proposals be submitted digitally. Submissions should be made in a single email to submissions@apearts.org subject heading OPEN CALL, with individual attachments of the above requested materials.

A.P.E. considers the curatorial process to be a relational one. Within the review process, A.P.E. may contact the artist(s) to inquire further into the particular curatorial and presentation considerations of the project. If your proposal is accepted, next steps will include a meeting with the co-directors, preferably in the gallery, to discuss the exhibition in more detail. A.P.E.’s co-directors engage in collaborative discussions with artists, particularly around the use of space within the curation of the exhibition.
If your proposal is accepted, it is recommended that you visit the A.P.E. space. If there are circumstances that prevent you from visiting, please contact A.P.E. and we will make alternate arrangements. Images of the gallery and the Window are HERE and a floor plan is HERE
