introducing
THE MEETING POINT

This August, ARTNOIR and REGULARNORMAL kick off From A Place, Of A Place with “The Meeting Point,” a large-scale curatorial project featuring work from emerging artists of color. The exhibition will use artistic expression to invite the community to the Meatpacking District and create an experience of connection, unity, liberation, and imagination.

OPEN
CALL

 We are honored to welcome emerging Black artists in NYC to be part of the program. From June 14-June 24, 2021 we will be hosting an OPEN CALL for submissions, inviting four artists to be featured in our gallery showcase and two artists to join our inaugural Artist in Residency Program at 2 Gansevoort (previously White Columns gallery).

PROCESS

ARTNOIR and REGULARNORMAL’s curatorial practice is rooted in diversity of voice and access in the arts, namely around race, gender, and sexuality. They continue to create and design transformative spaces and exhibitions that reflect communities that shape and influence cultural legacy.

 This curated and juried show will be a unique and profound opportunity to be featured alongside NYC elite emerging artists in the Meatpacking District and sold in a public exhibition. 

This exhibit will showcase art that is conceptually thoughtful, skilled and representative of the energy and spirit of community, futurism, and liberation.

 Open to all Black artists residing in the 5 Boroughs of NYC or past residents of the Meatpacking District. Must be able to meet in person or virtually during the month of July and August in part of a 1:1 community building practice between the featured artists.

REQUIREMENTS: 
Submit up to 4 images of current work.
