Franchise Program

Where: Anywhere in the world other than New York City

Next submission period: 15 February – 15 March 2014

The Franchise is an open call for 500-word proposals for group shows that take place anywhere in the world outside of New York City. One of apexart’s two curatorial open calls, the Franchise asks for submissions for exhibitions that examine a specific idea or theme. Exhibitions can be about anything that the organizer finds compelling and can take place anywhere other than NYC. Past shows have explored construction in Mexico City, community in Memphis, and translation in Kampala. The Franchise is an opportunity to help bring a compelling idea to fruition and to illustrate that the center of the world is wherever you are. Please note that apexart is not a funding organization and exhibitions are part of apexart’s regular programming.
