NAPOLEON CALLING!
We'd like to welcome you to apply to be an original member of a new artist run project space. In the blossoming 319 N. 11th Street building which is home to popular galleries such as Vox Populi, Grizzly Grizzly, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid, comes NAPOLEON. NAPOLEON's mission is to give artists complete freedom to conquer space through experimentation and risk taking. NAPOLEON offers members free reign in the space for a month a year on a rotational basis. Members will be free to present their own work or curate a show in space 2L (225 sq. foot gallery). Once members are chosen, there is no more jury process.
Aside from showing at NAPOLEON, members will also help run the space by attending monthly meetings, gallery sitting, maintaining the space, and helping with various administrative tasks. While the gallery itself is the primary focus of the group, NAPOLEON could be much more. First year members will mold the reputation of the collective and set its agenda. NAPOLEON will be a group from which artists can find community and an artistic outlet. So, come be a NAPOLEON.
