2025 - 2026 YoungArts x BAXTER ST Exhibition

About YoungArts x BAXTER ST Exhibition Opportunity (2025–2026)  

BAXTER ST at CCNY in partnership with YoungArts is thrilled to offer a solo exhibition at BAXTER ST to one YoungArts alumnus. All YoungArts artists currently residing in New York City and the surrounding area who are working in photography or lens-based art are eligible to apply.  

The selected YoungArts alumnus artist will gain hands-on experience in the process of exhibition-making from start to finish, receive guidance and support from specialists in their field of study and work closely with BAXTER ST advisors.  

This program is intended to support the exhibition of completed work, rather than the creation of a new body of work. Your proposal should clearly outline the project you wish to present as a solo exhibition, and your work samples must reflect completed pieces that are representative of the proposed show.
