Everson Central New York Artist Initiative

Everson Central New York Artist Initiative

Call for Entries for 2024 exhibitions

The Central New York Artist Initiative builds upon the Everson Museum of Art’s ongoing support of the region’s vibrant arts community. Launched in January 2022, the Everson CNY Artist Initiative is a competitive program that highlights the multi-faceted talents of regional artists. Each year, Everson curators select artists to display their work in solo exhibitions at the Museum. Selections are based on the innovative quality of the work, how the work aligns with the Museum mission, and its relevance to the community.

CNY Artist Initiative exhibitions run for six to eight weeks and are displayed in the Everson’s Members’ Council Gallery. The gallery is 37.5 by 18.5 feet; proposed work must fit within this space.

Artists selected this year will show their work in exhibitions in 2024.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Artists must live and work within a 75-mile radius of Syracuse, NY.
