MAP’s Fifth Annual Curator's Incubator Program

We welcome proposals from all all mid-Atlantic area emerging curators

Phase One Proposals: The postmark/delivery deadline for applications is from September 12 to October 21, 2006.
Exhibition Dates: TBA: Autumn, 2007

Maryland Art Place (MAP) is proud to announce a call for proposals for the Fifth Annual Curator’s Incubator Program. This program was developed to encourage diversity and mentor mid-Atlantic emerging curators (with limited or no previous curatorial experience), while offering a flash-point look at contemporary art in our community. Candidates are invited to submit proposals during a two-phase application process. During phase one, interested candidates will submit brief descriptions of their proposed exhibitions for a competitive review process. These proposals must be postmarked or hand delivered to: Curator’s Incubator 5, MAP, 8 Market Place, Suite 100, Baltimore, MD 21202, between September 12 and October 21, 2006.

A small number of curatorial semi-finalists will be selected, with the intention for curators to fine tune their phase two proposals over a two month period in early 2007, assisted by MAP’s staff and area curators. Refined proposal packets prepared by these semi-finalists (comprised of either individual curators or curatorial teams) will be eligible for the final competitive review during the late winter/early spring of 2007.

Both stages of the exhibition proposal packets will be juried by MAP's Programming Advisory Committee (PAC), a group comprised of professional artists and arts educators from the region, committed to expanding exhibition opportunities at MAP by recommending specific exhibitions and artists to MAP’s staff and board. For more information, please call to speak with our Director of Programs.
