The Solo Exhibition Open Call provides emerging and under-recognized artists the necessary resources to present an exhibition at CUE in 2020. The selected artists will receive valuable mentor support from an established artist or curator on the selection panel, including a studio visit and installation guidance in preparation for the exhibition. In addition, exhibiting artists each receive a $5,000 honorarium and an accompanying exhibition catalogue with an essay written by a participant in CUE’s Art Critic Mentoring Program.

THE SELECTION PROCESS
The
Open Call is judged in two stages. After applications are screened for
eligibility, an initial jury reviews applications online to select a
shortlist of applicants to proceed to the next stage. The initial jury
remains anonymous and includes representatives from CUE’s network of
alumni and advisors.
The finalists are
decided by a separate jury comprised of four established curators and
artists that will convene in New York City in May 2019. Each panelist
then selects a finalist to work with as a Curator-Mentor throughout the
planning stages of the exhibition.
The final
jury panelists change each year and remain confidential until finalists
are announced. Recent panelists include artist, Kate Shepherd; Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Larry Ossei-Mensah; Chief Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design, Shannon Stratton; artist, Ali Banisadr; art historian, Andrianna Campbell; and artist, Steffani Jemison, amongst others.
All applicants will be notified of results by June 2019.
