ARTVIEWS GALLERY – CALL FOR EXHIBITION PROPOSALS

The Montefiore Fine Art Program and Collection is pleased to announce the launch of the ARTVIEWS GALLERY, a rotating exhibition space located at the Medical Center in the Bronx. The gallery will exhibit original artwork and is open to all artists living and/or working in the Tri-State area. This rotating exhibition program seeks to enrich the lives of the patients, caregivers, associates, students, faculty and the community’s understanding of contemporary art in a medical center context.

ArtViews strives to support Montefiore’s mission to heal, to teach, to discover and to advance the health of the communities we serve. Exhibitions will feature a wide range of artwork with diversity in theme, medium and execution that will appeal to a wide audience while being respectful of cultural backgrounds and the Bronx community. Montefiore will sponsor six exhibitions yearly, with durations of between six to eight weeks.

ELIGIBILITY

Themes are open to interpretation and individual artists, groups and curators living and/or working in the tri-state area are eligible to submit proposals. All works in two dimensions, three dimensions, installation and video will be considered.
