2024 GUEST CURATOR PROGRAM
An important focus for A.P.E. is to provide access and visibility to both emerging and established artists within Northampton and beyond. The newly launched Guest Curator Program gives contemporary artists and curators more agency in the curatorial process. In 2024 A.P.E. will select 2 curators to facilitate and assemble exhibitions from local, regional, and national arts communities. 2024 exhibitions will last for 6 weeks, occurring in April/May and August/September. 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 will range in approach and media and will be spread out throughout the calendar year. We offer financial support to each of the curators and will offer our assistance (technical, promotional…) to enhance each curator's experience in working with A.P.E.
If you are interested in this program either as a curator or member of the selection committee,
please send an email of interest to: submissions@apearts.org
SHORT TERM EXHIBITIONS, RESIDENCIES, POP-UPS, + ENCOUNTERS
A.P.E. also accepts proposals for short-term exhibitions, pop-ups, or residencies that might occur in transitional times between exhibitions. Please submit proposals for such events to: submissions@apearts.org These events would be self-produced and are not guaranteed to be staffed by the A.P.E. team. Please include details in your submission about the staffing and support plans for your project.
