PROGRAM



An important focus for A.P.E. is to provide access and visibility to both emerging and established artists within Northampton and beyond. Our Guest Curator Program gives contemporary artists and curators more agency in the curatorial process. A.P.E.'s Guest Curator selection committee will select 2 curators per year who facilitate and assemble exhibitions from local, regional, and national arts communities. Every exhibition must include at least one mid-career regional (Massachusetts or greater New England) artist 35 or older. We do this to give a more prominent voice to artists of our region, while creating a conversation with contemporary artists from farther away. These exhibitions range in approach and media and are interspersed throughout A.P.E.'s exhibition season.

The 2024 selection committee includes Grace Clark, AJ Rombach, Ash Strazzinski, Zoe Sasson, with Kathy Couch and Lisa Thompson from A.P.E.
