Call for Exhibition Proposals – Art at the Miami-Dade Library

It’s time for our yearly call for exhibition proposals. Please help us get the word out. If you are able, please forward this to your lists or share with anyone you think would be interested.

Art at the Library: Exhibition proposals due March 10,
2010
Proposal guidelines are here.

The Miami-Dade Public Library System is accepting proposals for exhibitions, performance art, and site-specific installations in all media. The deadline is 5pm
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 for exhibitions and performances to take place between
January and December 2011.

The Library system’s exhibition program includes contemporary art,
material culture, folk art, and art education (for example, exhibitions
of student work organized by teachers or other educators), as well as
exhibitions in the humanities about literary, historical, cultural, and interdisciplinary
topics.

We welcome a diverse variety of proposals in all media. We are looking for proposals of high quality that demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the library environment as a public space. Adaptability and flexibility are great qualities for any artist, curator, or group exhibiting at the Library.

The Library also evaluates proposals with an eye for projects/exhibitions that:

* get viewers to see things in new ways
* address themes that are relevant to a specific local community in an
innovative way
* present traditional art forms that are rooted in a particular culture, place,
or history
* experiment with new forms, and/or
* relate to language and literary themes, library collections, or the
library as a site.
