apexart announces our 8th annual Franchise Program open call, an opportunity for anyone to submit a proposal for an idea-driven, group exhibition to be presented anywhere in the world—except New York City.

Due to increased funding, apexart is adding an additional Franchise Exhibition to our 2015–16 season for a total of four winning projects, selected by a jury of over 100 creative professionals who vote online using apexart’s anonymized crowd-sourcing voting system. Winners receive a budget and administrative support to produce their exhibitions.

Proposals must be 500 words or less describing the central idea of the show. No links or images accepted.

Submit your proposal on the Franchise Program page starting February 1.
