2022-2023 DEPART-MENT Open Call

Dear friends of the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design,

We are excited to open a call to Greater New Orleans educators and artists to exhibit works (art, design, research, curatorial projects, etc.) and host programs at DEPART-MENT, our community exhibition and event space, during a semester-long residency.

Through this call, we hope to explore links across disciplines and practices, cultivate and amplify collective knowledge, and build intentional networks of thinkers and doers working towards a vision of healthier and sustainable landscapes.

DEPART-MENT will host 4 proposals — 2 during the fall semester, 2 during the spring. Each selected proposal will receive an honorarium of up to $1,500, with an additional $500 to support programming expenses.

Each selected proposal will commit to: curating an exhibition**, hosting a “Lunch & Learn” style event, and organizing at least one additional public program during the length of the exhibition term. Opening and closing receptions will be organized in collaboration with Small Center team.

If you’d like to talk through any proposal ideas with the Small Center team, reach us at baronne@tulane.edu.
