Mission Statement
apexart is a 501(c)(3) non-profit contemporary visual arts organization located in Lower Manhattan. Through our exhibitions, international residency, publication initiatives, and programs and events, we are committed to cultural and intellectual diversity and aim to stimulate public dialogue about contemporary art. Our exhibitions and programs are intended to promote consideration among our local audience while extending the dialogue to our international audience through print and electronic outreach.
Description
Each year apexart presents seven group exhibitions, hosts eight international residents, organizes numerous public programs and performances, and distributes 70,000 full-color interpretive exhibition brochures free of charge to individuals and institutions in 95 countries. apexart has afforded a wide range of individuals the opportunity to contribute and participate in our programs from established curators and artists to those just emerging in the field. apexart has been proud to feature exhibitions organized by such well-known individuals as Dave Hickey, Hou Hanru, John Baldessari, Dave Eggers, Luc Sante and Jean-Hubert Martin. Since our inception, more than 1,000 artists, from emerging to established and from all over the globe, have participated in over 135 exhibitions. In 2006 we published our first book, On Cultural Influence, a compilation of thirty papers presented at apexart conferences from 1999 to 2004; and in 2007 our second book, Cautionary Tales: Critical Curating, in which art related professionals consider the increased influence of independent curators and cultural producers.
