Deadline: March 5, 2010 (RECEIVE)

Open Call for Curators
Intrepid Guest Curators: Enliven The Atrium Gallery

Atrium Gallery
Ventura, CA

Theme - There is no theme! We leave it to the guest curators who will select the work to be exhibited on each of the three floors of the gallery. The exhibited works should enliven the gallery in the most interesting and exciting ways. They may select existing work or create a new and unique installation just for this show. They may select work entirely by themselves or involve the County departments or other institutions in that process or in the creation of the art itself.

Selection Process & Awards - The Arts Council will select guest curators based on the strength and uniqueness of their proposals, and their proven ability to execute their proposals. No prizes will be awarded and no funds are available for the curators. However, a one-year membership in the Arts Council will be provided.
