About
Through the Emerging Artists Program, MoAD is committed to providing local artists the opportunities to generate and exhibit work reflecting the cultural and artistic richness of the African Diaspora. The EAP is a call for artists to submit a solo exhibition proposal of their work.
Competitive proposals will present innovative artwork to activate the salon space. This multipurpose space is the heart of the museum where we hold public programs, education workshops, and events.
Four final artists will be selected. Each artist will have a 2 month solo show as part of the Emerging Artists Program to display their work in a solo exhibition.
Exhibition #1—October 19, 2016 through December 31, 2016
Exhibition #2—January 11, 2017 through March 19, 2017
Exhibition #3—March 29, 2017 through June 4, 2017
Exhibition #4—June 13, 2017 through September 3, 2017
Selected artists will be notified on August 31, 2016, from which artists will then work with the exhibitions team at the museum and have 2 months to finalize and prepare work.
We will hold two information sessions to review the application process and to answer any questions. These sessions will be held on June 1st and June 29th at 6pm in the MoAD salon and include a gallery tour.
