OPEN CALL: Curatorial Proposals at Print Center New York in New York, USA Read the full listing on our website:  https://lnkd.in/ecY4_ieN  💸 Unrestricted curatorial fee + additional travel budget 📧 Submission deadline: 6 April 2025, 11:59 EST In celebration of Print Center New York’s 25 year history of platforming guest curators, the Center invites emerging and early-career curators to submit letters of interest for exhibition opportunities beginning in 2028. Through this curatorial open call—the first in our organization’s history—the Center aims to identify promising voices and areas of research that are pushing our field forward, and to accelerate professional opportunities for curators who are building the print exhibition and scholarship of tomorrow. Print Center New York’s curatorial program aims to generate new knowledge and understanding of printmaking’s potential by: - locating print within broader artistic, historical, and cultural contexts - re-examining and expanding established histories and narratives - fostering cross-disciplinary conversation - making print visible and accessible to non-specialist audiences - imagining possible futures and developing new theoretical frameworks The Center is interested in rigorous curatorial projects that align with its goals. Projects may be either monographic or group exhibitions, either historical or contemporary, and while they should be firmly grounded in print, they may include works in other mediums that add nuance and clarity to the curator’s vision. Emerging and early-career curators based anywhere in the United States are eligible.
