Guest Curator Initiative
The Guest Curator Initiative seeks to enhance the connection with artists featured in our directory through a thoughtful engagement with the themes, processes and contexts that inspire and inform their artwork. The program invites curators and scholars to discuss relevant aspects of an artist’s practice through a recorded, live or written conversation, article, or interview.
Event Listings Submission Coming Soon
Coming soon we will have a way for you to submit events that feature women-identifying or nonbinary artists. Thank you for your patience while we work on how this will work.
