The Gabarron Foundation
(New York NY)
The Gabarron Foundation is having an open call for emerging
artists who are interested in displaying their artwork for a special
exhibition. Eight New York based artists will be selected for this
cross-continental exhibition titled “Two Hemispheres.”
THE
GOAL: Our goal is to have two groups of artists (Spanish and American)
engage in a cultural dialogue through the vehicle of the visual arts. We
will select one to two art pieces from each artist to be displayed in
all of our exhibitions, both here in New York and in Spain.
From
September 13th to November 2nd, the chosen pieces will be exhibited in
the first floor gallery at the Foundation’s Carriage House Center for
the Arts in New York. After, the pieces will be transported to be
displayed in the Foundation's three centers located in Spain.
Additionally, the Gabarron Foundation will make a catalog book of the
chosen pieces for further promotion. This opportunity is quintessential
for emerging artists to network and promote their art on an
international level.
