MoCADA calls for curatorial proposals. Brooklyn, NY
Each year on August 15 and February 15, MoCADA reviews artist submissions and curatorial proposals for the upcoming year’s exhibition cycle. MoCADA is committed to giving emerging, mid-career and established artists and curators the opportunity to expand their portfolios and develop a relationship with the museum.
Artist submissions and exhibition proposals will be considered for MoCADA’s main gallery in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and for satellite locations throughout New York City. While submissions are accepted throughout the year, artists and curators should review the application requirements below and submit their materials before the next review date to be considered for the upcoming year. Artists and curators should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the museum’s mission and past exhibitions before submitting. All applications must adhere to the outlined application requirements.
Good luck and we look forward to hearing about your ideas!
