KUNSTHALLE HEINEMAN
ALTERNATIVE ART EXHIBIT SPACE LAUNCHED BY HEINEMAN MYERS CONTEMPORARY ART

Heineman Myers Contemporary Art announces the launch of a new alternative art exhibit opportunity in the Washington, DC art community. KUNSTHALLE HEINEMAN offers a unique combination of resources to artists by fulfilling demand for two unmet needs in the local commercial art market: affordable, short-term exhibit space and practical career advice on how to succeed as a professional artist. Applications for the program will be accepted starting immediately. In exchange for a flat participation fee, successful applicants receive use of the Kunsthalle space, promotion of their project or exhibition, portfolio analysis, ongoing individualized marketing advice in the commercial art market, as well as use of a striking, minimalist and flexible space for a week, two-week or four-week interval. No commission will be taken, so work presented may be available for sale at the participant’s discretion.

Kunsthalle Heineman welcomes original and cutting edge project proposals for specific use of the venue from artists in all media, at any stage of their career, as well as groups of artists, college and university art programs, non-profit visual art organizations and professionals in contemporary art and design. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of independent collectors, museum curators, art critics, art consultants and commercial gallery directors. This exposure is in itself invaluable to artists who rarely have this opportunity. The application fee of $100 counts toward the pro-rated participation fee
