Curators Lab Exhibitions
The Curators Laboratory Exhibitions greatly enhance FOCA’s mission of supporting emerging and mid-career California artists by reaching out to emerging curators who will present exhibitions in support of a curatorial thesis. In keeping with FOCA’s historical goal to provide documentation of each exhibition, records of the curator’s process of conceptualizing and organizing each exhibition will be posted on FOCA’s website. Over time this series of curatorial projects and associated web support will generate – for students, artists, curators, and the public – a valuable archive resource.
Curators Lab Exhibitions take place in FOCA’s headquarters in Chinatown. FOCA periodically offers a Call for Proposal 2024 for curatorial submissions.
