Franchise Two
'considering the same boundary between art and business. again'

Accepting submissions from anyplace, now through
December 15, 2009

As the art world adopts strategies from the world 
of business, cultural organizations have set up 
franchises around the globe. For the second year, 
apexart is joining this trend and setting up its 
own franchise in a new city.

This competition is an opportunity for anyone 
from anywhere to create their own temporary 
apexart in your city, town or village. For a 
four-week exhibition from March 13 - April 17, 
2010, you will be the director, curator and/or 
staff of your own apexart franchise with a 
budget, a modest salary, and almost complete 
control. We will provide the funding (up to 
10,000 USD), along with the necessary guidance to 
make your curated exhibition happen. This 
includes an apexart brochure in an edition of 
10,000 and its distribution around the world to 
more than 108 countries and a visit or two from us

In addition, prior to your show, we'll arrange to 
bring you to NYC for three days, to visit apexart.

The Franchise is an opportunity to help bring an 
idea to fruition in a new place and to give 
someone an interesting opportunity. This year we 
will exclude people in large cities like New 
York, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo from applying, and 
invite submissions from locations with less than 
500,000 people. Places such as Moshupa or Priboj. 
Baton Rouge or Lübeck, Cadiz or Az-Zawiyah, 
Heidelberg or Zinder.

To participate, please submit a reason in the 
form of a 250 word essay, along with four images, 
to tell the jurors why apexart should come to 
you. We encourage applicants to use the 250 words 
in any way they see fit. Applications will be 
accepted until December 15, 2009.
