Franchise Program
Accepting 500-word group exhibition proposals from February 15 - March
15, 2014.
Franchise Proposal Winner 2013-14 Heterotopia, organized by crystal am
nelson in Marfa, Texas
The apexart Franchise Program open call will accept proposals for idea-
based, group exhibitions from February 15 to March 15, 2014. Three
winning proposals will receive funding and administrative support from
apexart to present their show in any location outside of New York City.
Now in its 6th year, the Franchise Program is open to anyone, from any
background, anywhere in the world. One of apexart's two curatorial
open calls, the Franchise asks for submissions for exhibitions that
examine a specific idea or theme. Exhibitions can be about anything
that the organizer finds compelling and can take place anywhere other
than NYC. The most successful proposals are those that explore an idea
that is integral to the country in which you wish to present. Past
shows have explored construction in Mexico City, community in Memphis,
and translation in Kampala. The Franchise is an opportunity to help
bring a compelling idea to fruition and to illustrate that the center
of the world is wherever you are. Please note that apexart is not a
funding organization and exhibitions are part of apexart's regular
programming.
The three winning exhibitions will be presented in apexart's 2014-15
season.
Proposals are accepted online at apexart.org/franchise.php from
February 15 - March 15, 2014. You may also visit this page for FAQs
and other guideline details.

Organized by Chuong-Dai Vo
Opening: January 25: 6-9 pm
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
2013 Franchise Exhibition
A winner of last season's Franchise Program open call, On the Streets
is inspired by the vendor cultures of Southeast Asia, where sidewalks
and plazas are an essential meeting ground for commerce and social
interactions. The exhibition is a comparative look at the effects of
globalization on public communities worldwide through observations of
their street life.
Participating artists have created new work that considers the theme
from the vantage point of their own locations: Boston, Los Angeles,
Phnom Penh, Saigon, and Vienna. These six artists will now meet in
Cambodia to work on site specific pieces that delineate the
differences between street cultures around the world.
