At just 16 and 18, these young curators put together their first exhibit.
Emma Orland and Carolyn Hallock were only in high school when they put together their first art exhibition. At 16 and 18 respectively, they scouted the location , solicited submissions through social media, and put together the event in less than a couple months. Throughout it all, the teens hadn’t relied on adults to help them put together their art show and that was the point.
After the success of their first show in 2017, the girls brought the exhibition back the next year, in a new space in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. This past weekend, they returned to the neighborhood for their third installment titled, but in a larger space that could now hold nearly double the work than when they started — 70-plus artists, some as young as 13 years old.
We caught up with the teen curators to find out more about their work with young artists and what it's like to tackle ageism in the art world.Carolyn: I think we both wanted to do something and we felt there wasn’t a great space for young artists to show their work, in like a physical sense. Anyone can show their work online, but being able to have your work in a gallery at a young age is difficult. We want to be able to give young artists that opportunity.
