bau is growing
bau/beacon artist union, the artists’ collective (currently 8 members) operating a gallery space on Main Street in Beacon, NY is expanding its membership.
Since January 2005 bau has been organizing and curating exhibitions of member and guest artists every month. These critically acclaimed shows have been accompanied by numerous auxiliary events, such as film/video screenings, art talks, theatrical and music performances and socio-critical presentations. Thus bau became a meeting place for the art community in the Hudson Valley area, attracting a growing number of visitors from the city.
bau’s success is based on its mission as an independent exhibition space run by its member artists.
To operate the gallery space continuously and professionally, incurring cost are divided among all members, and are determined for each upcoming year (approx. $100/month per member).
A bau membership requires a commitment for one full year. Meetings are held regularly every month. All members participate in administrative roles.
bau is a profit oriented incorporated enterprise where a percentage of sales - currently 10% of members’ sales - are reinvested to help bau grow. Members' financial contributions are used for bau's operating expenses. Any additional assets from sales, donations or fundraising are used for bau's development.
A bau membership offers members the opportunity to present their projects in one solo show and one optional group show each year. Besides the possibility of mounting shows bau provides a stage for the realization of experimental projects, opportunities for voluntary curatorial tasks, and becoming connected to a fast growing network of artists, curators, galleries, media and collectors.
A bau membership is not limited to artists working in the field of visual arts.
If you are interested in a bau membership and would like to become part of the bau project please let us know about you.
