Call for Proposals
Alternative Project Space
Deadline: November 1st, 2019
The Lexington Art League has occupied the historic and dynamic Loudoun House since 1984. It’s primary spaces are activated with exhibitions and special events, community rooms, markets shops, workshops, artist studios and offices. Instep with our renewed mission to serve local artists, we have identified new opportunities for local artists to activate a couple of our smaller, more intimate, and underutilized alternative spaces of the Loudoun House… the tower, and the back staircase landing toward the attic.
We are accepting project proposals for 2020 from Lexington artist residents to occupy one or both of these alternative spaces. Proposed projects should utilize the space continuously throughout the duration of the project and include public, social, and visual elements. Project spaces must be open to the public during exhibition receptions, third and fourth Fridays, and gallery hours, Tuesday through Sunday.
Projects may include, but are not limited to public studio working space for a specific body of work, special project, installation art or socially engaged artworks. Preference will be given to process oriented projects that exhibit need for space, integration of public/social project elements, and measurable goals for completion. These temporary public working spaces are rent free and come with no additional funding. Artists are required to post one minute in-process project video clips bi-weekly to Lexington Art League social media and Youtube accounts.
