Call for Artists

ESPERANZA is a digital space for visual artists who make work in response to place, identity, family history, and memory.

the project is dedicated to my great-grandmother, Esperanza Balmaceda de Josefé, the Mexican communist feminist and social worker who fought for women’s rights, Pan-American feminism and equality for indigenous women.

this is an inclusive curatorial project that centers BIPOC, immigrants, women, and artists on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.

The Emerging Artist Series at Riverviews Artspace is an initiative to assist up and coming local artists are looking to expand their CV and knowledge of exhibiting their artwork. Each emerging artist will receive an exhibit in our Rosel H. Schewel Gallery and Theater and work with our curatorial staff to plan and execute the showcase of their artwork. We define “emerging” as those early in their professional artistic careers, who may wish to learn more about gallery representation, building an extensive exhibition history and awards, or sustaining an income derived from art sales and commissions.
