The Bronx Museum of the Arts is now accepting on-line applications for the fall 2008/spring 2009 semesters. Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) marks The Bronx Museum of the Arts’ ongoing commitment to provide professional development opportunities to emerging artists in the greater New York metropolitan area. AIM comprises a twelve-week seminar program offered annually in the fall and the spring. Classes meet on Tuesday evenings 6 - 8 p.m. Enrollment is limited to 18 artists per semester. The program culminates with an annual group exhibition and accompanying catalogue. AIM sessions provide information, instruction, and professional guidance by addressing areas of practical concern to artists, such as curatorial practice, copyright law, exhibition and public art opportunities, gallery representation, grants writing, income taxes, and marketing. A core set of workshops is annually enhanced by a number of guest speakers including artists, collectors, critics, curators, dealers, lawyers, and accountants. Only online applications for the fall 2008 and spring 2009 semesters will be considered. Applications must be received no later than June 30, 2008.
