SOLO SHOW Opportunity @ Super Secret Projects Gallery
Beacon Open Studios (BOS) exists to support local artists, by promoting their work and providing them with unique access to galleries and venues, giving their work a wider audience.
​
BOS has partnered with Super Secret Projects (SSP) Collective to grant a solo show to one local artist. BOS submitted a proposal and was awarded use of one open month (February) at SSP Gallery. BOS will be paying a location fee, to give the month to a deserving local artist.
​
"Super Secret Projects' primary mission is to empower dedicated emerging and mid-career artists by creating a nurturing environment that facilitates experimentation, learning, sharing, and collaboration through engaging exhibitions and installations. We firmly believe in the transformative power of art and strive to make it more inclusive and accessible within the Beacon community and beyond. Guided by co-directors Diana Vidal and Allegra Jordan, both passionate advocates of art, our collective is driven by a shared commitment to enriching the local artistic landscape."
​
This is an amazing opportunity for an artist with a ready, body of work that they have been looking to share. As this open month does not come with plenty of time to prepare, we recommend applying with an existing body of work.
SSP Gallery is located behind Hyperbole at 484 Main Street, Beacon NY, and is open to visitors 7 days a week,11am-6pm.
