NYAE PROJECT SPACE

 
 

Overview

Equity’s Gallery’s new project space offers the opportunity for its members to show new, experimental or “in progress” works in an intimate setting and as an experiential alternative to its main exhibition spaces.   The space comprises a 160 square foot alcove with three 8’H x 8’W professionally finished and illuminated viewing walls in a “U” dimension. 
 

Ideal Projects

  • Given available resources, projects utilizing traditional media is preferred over projects requiring complex technologies and equipment. We suggest installations comprising 7 – 10 works under 30 inches in any dimension (including frame). Number of works can be adjusted up or down given work dimensions. Salon style and more formal hangs are welcome as are small to mid-sized sculptures, site-specific pieces, mixed media works and works in progress.

  • The gallery will assist in the installation of works and can provide plinths and wall mounts for sculpture. Preference will be provided for drawings and “works on paper” proposals that are framed and ready to hang.

  • Proposals utilizing digital technology must provide the necessary equipment and requisite installation expertise as well as maintain said installation in good working order for the duration of the project. Sound based installations can only be accommodated with headsets.

  • Projects are expected to run between 3 and 4 weeks. Preference will be provided to projects that offer works for sale at moderate prices in keeping with the gallery’s extant market reach. Works consigned for sale will be subject to the gallery’s normal business practices including marketing promotions and commission splits.

 

Submissions

  • Submitting a project proposal is free for Rose, Emerald, Diamond, and Lifetime Equity members. Proposals submitted by Diamond and Lifetime members will receive scheduling preference. Cobalt and Ivory members will be charged a $20 submission fee.

  • Proposals need to include 3 to 5 images of actual work to be installed and a simple diagram visualizing the completed installation and number and dimensions of works. Images must be captioned with date, dimensions, media and title if applicable. Please also include a 3 – 5 sentence statement of the project and a single page resume.

  • Completed applications can be uploaded via the gallery’s website and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Applicants can expect notification of a completed application with two weeks of submission and notifications regarding an acceptance, rejection or wait-list decision will be rendered within one month. When possible, acceptance decisions will include available exhibition dates.
