Young Space, no.11 ½
Bonus edition: opportunities closing soon!
Hello, friends—
The start of the year is a big time for open calls, and with a few last-minute ones I just learned about, I figured this should go out to you asap! Below, you’ll find nine additional opportunities for visual artists with deadlines coming up in the next couple of weeks—some very soon.
Remember, you can check out the entire list in chronological order of deadlines at yngspc.com/opportunities. There are more than a dozen great opportunities with deadlines in the next couple of days.
And your next regular digest is coming later this week. As always, thanks so much for your support! Your contribution helps to support the work that goes into this newsletter and directly supports independent art publish on Dovetail, too.
