A brief update on our Verge NY 2015 event:
We are currently open for applications to our annual programs, including Tomorrow Stars, our SURFACES video call, and The Drawing Show, as well as for solo exhibition booths; we also offer options for collectives and galleries. We hope you’ll consider applying, we’d love to have you for what the New York Times described last year as a show “By artists, for artists.” Images of the event are available on our Homepage for viewing at http://www.vergeartfair.com/vergenyc/vergenycmain.html
Please have a visit to our Apply page for a full list of available application sections:

Since we are inviting you directly, we are offering a discount on all applications received by our December 1 deadline. Until then, the next 10 applications we receive we will honor a discount of 10% off the booth fee. Enter code "8617" on checkout, and it will apply the discount, with a deposit due at the time of application.
We are also writing to let you know about our /publicprojects mural program. Right now, we have extended our deadline for the Apartment People mural project to January 15, 2015. There will be a first-phase selection process, and a second-phase review of materials, including a requested line-item budget, mural mock-up, etc. Funded in part by the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce, we have worked closely with Chamber officials to insure infrastructure support, such as any trussing that would need built and installed, and an award of $3,500-$4,500 in total budget dollars (meaning, there is still paint to be bought, brushes, etc that this amount should cover.) They are looking for work that reflects a contemporary sensibility, considers the history of the neighborhood, and it can be considered one of two phases to complete the entire wall. It is possible a different artist could be called to complete the wall for phase 2, but they must improve on the earlier version. All proposals, including those of the phase 1 winner will be considered for phase 2.
