apexart open call 2025 invites artists and curators from around the world to submit exhibition proposals for the 2025–2026 season. Selected projects will receive full funding and be shown in New York or internationally.
apexart has announced its open call for exhibition proposals for the 2025–2026 season. Artists, curators, writers, and creatives from all backgrounds and nationalities are invited to submit a project idea to be developed and exhibited in New York or an international location.
This initiative is known for its democratic selection process, where hundreds of jurors from around the world evaluate the proposals anonymously.
Who can apply
The apexart open call is open to individuals from any discipline, background, and country. No prior curatorial experience is required. The selection is based solely on the strength of the idea, not the résumé or portfolio.
About the program
Selected proposals receive a full exhibition budget, a curator honorarium, and administrative support from apexart. Each project is developed in collaboration with the apexart team and must be carried out within the 2025–2026 cycle.
- Submission deadline: October 31, 2025
- Application language: English
- Entry fee: None
How to apply
Proposals must be submitted online through the apexart website. The submission consists of a short written proposal (no images or CVs), which is reviewed anonymously by a large group of international jurors.
This apexart open call 2025 is an opportunity for creatives to develop unique curatorial ideas with institutional support. If you’re looking for more global opportunities to exhibit or connect through contemporary art, visit our Open Calls section.
