The Second Annual Curate NYC is brought to you by New York City Economic Development Corporation and Full Spectrum Experience, Inc. – a borough-wide showcase for New York City visual artists. Curate NYC exists to heighten exposure for New York City visual artists, and to promote the city’s image as a cultural hub. An open call city-wide, all entries are reviewed by a panel of judges, and the top 150 works were exhibited as museum-quality postcards at Rush Arts Gallery in Chelsea. In 2011, in addition to the postcard exhibition, guest curators will organize online shows, and five galleries, one per borough, will curate and exhibit their own shows of actual works by Curate NYC artists. www.curatenyc.org
