The co-chairs of the exhibition are Atlanta gallery owners Melanie Davis and Ashley Waldron Hope. Curated by MOCA GA Director Annette Cone-Skelton, the exhibition will serve as an awareness-raiser and fundraiser for the Museum. Selected artists are expected to donate 50% of any resulting sale to MOCA GA. Artists and their galleries are responsible for working out an agreement pursuant to any sales resulting from this exhibition.
Upon selection for the exhibition, the work must be delivered (exhibition ready) to MOCA GA by January 26th.

While I’m not from Georgia, so this invitation does not affect me personally, I wonder why this is limited to YOUNG emerging artists. Some artists bloom late and are in need of opportunities just as much as young artists are. A great example in the world of fiction is Harriet Doerr. She finished her Stanford degree at age 67 and won the national book award at age 73. There is enough ageism in the world; why contribute to it?
