Call for submissions for exhibition proposal
Applications close 4.30pm Friday 15 May 2015
The Whangarei Art Museum is calling for submissions from curators, artists, designers, art researchers and interested
groups to propose an exhibition showcasing local stories and our creative community.
White Cube Black Box Project
The Whangarei Art Museum welcomes the arts community to share your voice and create an engaging experience for a diverse
range of visitors.
The project White Cube Black Box introduces the idea of an open blank space of the gallery, often referred to as a ‘white cube’ space, but also the
dynamic and performative element of a ‘black box’, a term used in theatre to describe a space of story telling and
imagination.
This is an opportunity for members of the community to propose an exhibition idea/plan to be displayed at the Whangarei
Art Museum over the 2015-16 Spring/Summer period.
What we are looking for
• We encourage well developed exhibition proposals with a strong/clear theme or narrative. It can range from the simple
and bold to the subtly thought-provoking, however details, clarity and impact will be important.
• We invite a diverse range of local talent – this can be artists (all mediums welcome) performance artists, designers,
aspiring curators or exhibition designers.
Interested applicants are invited to contact the Whangarei Art Museum for an application pack.
