Description

VisArts welcomes artists ages 17–27 in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area to submit their application for NextGen 11.0. The exhibit will be presented in the Kaplan Gallery from March 22 - May 12, 2024.

NextGen 11.0 is a unique opportunity for aspiring artists who have little or no exhibition experience to show their work in a professional gallery and participate in related programming, including: an opening reception and artist talks, conversations with other emerging artists, critiques with local curators and arts administrators - who work with young artists, and additional professional development opportunities.

Prior NextGen participants are ineligible. NextGen applicants who weren’t selected for previous exhibitions may re-apply this year.

NextGen 11.0 jurors: Naoco Wowsugi, Associate Professor for American University's Department of Art and Community- Engaged artist + José Ruiz, Curator and Director of the Curatorial Practice MFA program at Maryland Institute College of Art.

Application Deadline: Friday, February 16, 2024
