Member Curatorial Proposal Info Session, with Erin Becker

Member Curatorial Proposal Info Session, with Erin Becker

Wednesday, May 10 (12:00-1:00pm) on Zoom

CAA is relaunching our Member Curatorial Opportunity at our new gallery, CAA @ Canal. Located in Kendall Square's Canal District, the CAA @ Canal Gallery offers approximately 1,000 square feet of first floor, street facing, exhibition space in a modern office tower. Designed for members and associates of the CAA, the Member Curatorial Opportunity provides exhibition space and some logistical support to emerging curators and artist-curators.

In this info session, we will review the call for proposal parameters and curatorial considerations. We will share past, successful applications, and may hear from curators of past exhibits. And we will allow ample time for Q&A to address questions from potential applicants.

All applicants to the Member Curatorial Opportunity are required to attend this live session OR view the recording.

This event will be recorded and emailed to participants.

Please sign for for the event on ZOOM
