Concept for proposed art exhibit:Venue and guest-curator pick the title.
Theme: all UNtitled art by UNrepresented artists --meanings are purposefully left to the viewers, thus letting their own experiences, imaginations, and individual reactions to the pieces say what it means.*
Venues note: invited artists have "strategic value" --most have sufficient social-networking activity to add significant public or press attention to the venue, the exhibit, and their fellow artists. Showing these artists benefits the venue.
Artists are seasoned, experienced, and quality-focused --but not currently long-term represented by a gallery. Showing these artists benefits the artists.
Fewer than 40 artists in exhibit pool.
Most artists are New York City based or affiliated.
By chance, the pool is over half female and over 85% any-minority (including women).
