apexart Franchise 2012: world-wide curatorial open call

Based on the idea of creating a franchise, apexart is once again holding our
worldwide open call for proposals for group exhibitions to be presented
anywhere in the world other than New York City. From May 26 to June 30, 2011
we will accept 450-word submissions outlining your idea for an exhibition.
Specific artists and venues need not be determined, but the concept should
be well developed and the city specified. Two winners selected by a jury
will be the director, curator and/or staff of their own month-long apexart
franchise with an $8,000 exhibition budget, a modest salary, and almost
complete control. apexart provides the funding along with the necessary
guidance and administrative support to make the curated exhibition happen.
This includes an apexart brochure in an edition of 10,000 with an essay from
the curator that is distributed around the world to more than 108 countries.

The Franchise is an opportunity to help bring an idea to fruition in a new
place and to illustrate that the center of the world is wherever you are.
