Curatorial projects are aimed at emerging artists with a preference for unconventional exhibition spaces, such as pop-up galleries, installation spaces and outdoor venues. Contemporary galleries and student-run galleries are also considered. The goal is to make the work of emerging artists relevant to the larger community, not just the art community.
