EXHIBITION GUIDELINES for PROPOSALS

ArtMia takes a proportion of its exhibition and projects programs from proposals and is always receptive to interesting ideas. Applications are received and considered at any time. The exhibitions program, which changes monthly, is planned at least 3 months in advance. Proposals may be for new projects or for exhibitions that have already been curated. ArtMia encourages the use of the organization as a site for developmental work and new projects. "

ArtMia requires the following in support of proposals:

• DOCUMENTATION Recent work to support your proposal can include any of the following: Website URLS, DVD or CD-ROM. Documentation of the exhibition is suitable if the show has already been curated. Please make sure that the documentation is of good quality. Description of the work(s) must be clear and comprehensible.
• CONCEPT & RATIONALE for the proposed exhibition. This need not normally be more than an A4 page. It should include a succinct account of the idea behind the proposal, including a discussion of the themes the artist(s)/curator(s) treat, or the theoretical background of the work, reasons for wanting the exhibition at ArtMia. Plans for any writing or publication associated with the exhibition should be mentioned.

• CURRENT CV of the participants. Decisions can be made more readily, the more information we are given to work with (eg, hire of equipment, timelines, freight, etc). Please bear in mind that there are only a certain number of exhibitions possible in a given year and ArtMia is not an open-access space, so submitting a proposal is no guarantee of acceptance. This is not necessarily a reflection on the proposal but perhaps of its relationship to the policies of ArtMia and the focus of the program - which is often constructed along specific curatorial themes - is focusing on at that time.
