Westbeth Gallery
Call for Proposals 2016

The Westbeth Gallery is seeking proposals for exhibitions for 2016

Background
The Westbeth Gallery is a nonprofit fine arts gallery located within Westbeth Artist Housing in the Far West Village in Manhattan. The mission of the gallery is to offer the opportunity for the general public to see the work of the residents of Westbeth and to serve the larger community by presenting work of emerging artists, work of mid-career or senior artists, work that is under-represented in commercial galleries or curated shows that present work in new and interesting ways. The gallery is operated by the Westbeth Artists Residents Council which is a volunteer organization elected by the residents of the building. As such, exhibitors are given latitude in the content and arrangement of their work once it is selected and are expected to work independently to curate, market and install their exhibition professionally.

The gallery is seeking proposals from institutions, curators or individual artists for public exhibitions. Preference is given to proposals that highlight under-served artistic communities; which frame traditional artistic forms in new ways or which contextualize some aspect of Westbeth’s artistic or architectural history. Preference is also given to resident artists for at least half of the exhibition slots each season. Proposed exhibitions should be composed of artwork that is the product of professional artists. Student or community-made artwork is not being presented by Westbeth Gallery at this time.
