Open Call

For New Collective Members


Grizzly Grizzly is seeking new voices to collaborate with and contribute to the dialogue. If you'd like to become involved, please fill out this Google form with a link to your website or an example of published writing and a short statement on why you are interested in joining Grizzly Grizzly.

Grizzly Grizzly began in 2009 and is currently under the stewardship of Roksana Filipowska, Amy Hicks, Diedra Krieger, Maggie Mills, Ephraim Russell, and Phillip Scarpone. As practicing artists and curators, we collaboratively curate exhibitions, performances, and alternative programming. We do not strive for consensus and we do not show our own work in the space. Using the creative problem-solving skills needed in our daily studio practices and curatorial work, we create a meeting-ground for dialog and a space for inventive work without the constraints of institutional agendas or commercial interests.

Grizzly Grizzly's mission is to decentralize institutional structures, take risks, and promote a diverse community of makers from within. We are a collective of individuals with sharp edges, committed to frank discussion and unexpected pairings. We spark new connections between artists, curators, and audiences in our intimate exhibition space, and aim to build bridges between different communities within the greater Philadelphia region.

For more information, or to ask questions before applying, email Grizzly Grizzly at 2xgrizzly@gmail.com. Please use "NEW MEMBER" in the subject line. Please note, we check our email sporadically and it may take us awhile to respond. The application form also has a space for questions, if you don't hear from us first.

Deadline is January 15, 2022. Use this link to access the Google Form:
