Call for Submissions: Center for Emerging Visual Artists, Philadelphia

Guest Curator Jenny Moore, New Museum

The Center for Emerging Visual Artists invites you to submit images of your artwork for review by our guest curator, Jenny Moore, Assistant Curator at the New Museum. Of the applicants, 10 to 25 artists will be asked to present a digital portfolio of approximately 10 images. Two to four of those artists will be selected for an exhibition in CFEVA’s Felicity R. “Bebe” Benoliel Gallery this summer.

As an exciting new aspect of our Visiting Curator program, this review process and resulting exhibition is a new way to showcase the abundance of talented artists in the region to a curator who is not yet familiar with our artist community. By expanding the program in this way, CFEVA is proud to create more exposure for the artists we serve and provide beneficial new leads for noteworthy curators.

Jenny Moore is Assistant Curator at the New Museum, where her first exhibition Charles Atlas: Joints Array was presented in 2011. In 2010, she was Assistant Curator for “10,000 Lives,” the 8th Gwangju Biennale with Artistic Director Massimiliano Gioni. Moore was Project Curator for The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York from 2005 to 2010 where she directed the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program.

The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclusively devoted to contemporary art. Founded in 1977, the New Museum was conceived as a center for exhibitions, information and documentation about living artists from around the world. From its beginnings as a one-room office on Hudson Street to the inauguration of its first freestanding, dedicated building on the Bowery designed by SANAA in 2007, the New Museum continues to be a place of ongoing experimentation and a hub of new art and new ideas.
