Apexart invites all curators, artists, writers and creatives to apply to participate in their 2019–20 exhibition season. International as well as New York-based exhibition proposals are accepted, and those chosen will be shown next year. The open call encourages creative freedom and originality and there are no prerequisites when it comes to an applicant’s experience, background or location. The exhibition proposal should be submitted online and expressed through a 500-word proposal, which will be anonymously assessed by a jury of 300 people.
