Wright says the city is offering two flexible partnership opportunities. She says Organization-Led Exhibitions feature the artists developing and managing an exhibition.

With City-Supported Exhibitions, artist partners develop the concept, while the City assists with the installation, promotion, and reception activities. No stipend is provided with this model…

The City especially encourages proposals that highlight the area’s history and culture, engage youth and community members, or provide opportunities for emerging artists. The initial proposal deadline is November 19^th at 3pm. But proposals will continue to be accepted for future consideration after the initial deadline.
