Curatorial
Proposal Submission Guidelines
Root Division is
an arts & arts education non-profit organization that was founded in
2002 by artists, of artists, and for artists. Part of our mission
is to offer opportunities for emerging and professional artists to
develop, which includes exhibiting work and curating exhibitions.
We embrace artists with no experience in these area as well as those
with extensive resumes. As we consider submissions, we intend to
include a broad range of artistic practices.
We strongly
encourage that you visit our space, familiarize yourself with our
past & current exhibition program, and understand the mission of the
organization before submitting a proposal. Strong proposals will be
clear & concise, will present innovative & engaging ideas, and will
intend to draw a diverse group of participants & visitors. While we
do not exclude artists & curators from outside the Bay Area, our
primary focus is presenting local emerging artists and local
emerging curators.
Review Process:
In an effort to reduce labor & time intensive submission and review
processes, we have an Initial Review & a Follow-Up Review Process.
The Initial Review is a great opportunity to submit the kernel of
the curatorial idea, presenting a limited number of images and
writing materials. Once the Curatorial Committee completes the
Initial Review, we will request additional materials and a project
budget from a select number of applicants for a Follow-up Review.
Please submit
the following for INITIAL REVIEW:
