NY Studio Gallery is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and unlike the many ‘pay to play’ galleries that infect downtown, NY Studio keeps to a traditional model of exhibitions.  One a year, the current deadline is 15 January, their panel selects two solo exhibitions from their applicants and give them a 5 week show.  A third artist is also given a show, but they are chosen by visitors votes during January.

They are looking for contemporary artists working in visual and installation arts.  A great idea would be to take a look at their previous exhibits online first.  The application is free, the deadline is 15 January and the process is completed online.
