Request for Curatorial Proposals from Los Angeles-Based Practitioners for 2018 Presentation

LACE's annual Emerging Curators program is designed to discover curatorial talent in Los Angeles and give an opportunity for an emerging curator to partner with LACE. Applicants are reviewed by a panel that will recommend projects to the LACE team. For the second installment of LACE’s Emerging Curators Program one project will be selected for presentation in early 2017. The panel will select a compelling project that is consistent with LACE’s experimental spirit.

This year's review panelists include:
- Beatriz Cortez
- Dorit Cypis
- Lanka Tattersall
Read more about the panelists. 

It is expected that submissions may be very open in nature because of the generous planning time allotted. The LACE team will work with the selected Emerging Curator in developing the project as it evolves over the planning year, and to collaborate on programming to insure the work reaches its intended audiences. A stipend of $5,000 will be awarded to the selected curator to cover all production and curatorial expenses for the project. LACE will provide space, exhibition consultation, installation expertise and assistance, and marketing and promotion of the project.
