CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR 2007

The Roger Smith Lab Gallery is a curator based exhibition space located in one of the liveliest business sections of New York City. Sponsored by The Roger Smith Hotel, The Lab  is a high traffic, fast paced, converted "storefront" that features theme based exhibitions while providing a venue for experimental national and international artists and curators and their ideas. The Lab specializes in ten day exhibitions which keeps the esthetic changing and flowing, so that passersby are constantly stimulated, both subliminally and literally. We are also keen on spreading our mission and goals to other institutions or cities, which are willing to trade shows so the exhibitions generated by or through the lab gallery can be seen and experienced elsewhere.

Exhibitions at The Roger Smith Lab Gallery include an opening reception, announcement cards, as well as a separate dinner party to celebrate and showcase the art we exhibit, and the ideas we wish to share and promote. The gallery, which is at street level, has two walls of glass which face 47th Street and Lexington Avenue, where over 20,000 people pass by every day.
