18th Street Arts Center

2011 Exhibition Season Proposals Being Accepted through August 1, 2010

Legacy

18th Street Arts Center is pleased to announce an open call for
exhibition proposals from artists for our 2011 season. Proposals are
based on an annual theme, which for 2011 is the idea of an artistic
‘Legacy’ (see website for more info http://18thstreet.org/get-involved/opportunities)
. Selected artist proposals receive an exhibition and a residency in
the 18th Street galleries. We are seeking proposals that include
public programming that promotes public dialogue as an important part
of the overall proposal.

For Legacy we are particularly interested in artists who worked in
Southern California between 1960 and 1990 in the areas of performance,
durational and ephemeral work, or in media with a performance aspect.
We are also interested in proposals from younger artists who are re-
performing or interpreting works from this period, or whom are
interested in collaborating with artists still working from that
period. Our exhibitions are awarded as artist fellowships: two
fellowships will include a budget of $5000 and the use of our main
gallery for three months as a gallery/laboratory/studio for
presentation, inquiry and research. Two additional fellowships will be
awarded a budget of $2500 and the use of our smaller project room
gallery. Generally, the main gallery is best suited for larger scale
projects group exhibitions, and collaborations. The project room is
suitable for installations, media works, and individual artists.

Exhibitions will take place Feb 1 through April 30; and June 1 through
August 30.
