Public Display

A confirmed venue is not a requirement in the application process, however applicants should indicate the context for the display of work. The more information provided, the easier it is for the review panel to envision how the project will materialize. If it satisfies the selection criteria, and if the project is feasible. We recommend beginning to look into public venue options, especially when planning to host an event in a gallery space, to consider timeline of events (many galleries/organizations book well in advance).
