Roles and Responsibilities

  1. Curation Administration:
    1. Receiving Studio Applications and removing identifying information, presenting to curation panel in Discord for feedback, running go no-go poll, and then responding to the artist with summarized feedback.
  2. Implementing process workflows to streamline submission and feedback process.
  3. Handing off accepted artists to gm Studio team.

Principles

  1. Blind Curation — Meaning, submissions are taken at face value and assessed for their artistic merit by a group of curators to reduce any potential bias associated with an artist or their past work.
  2. Fast and Thorough Feedback — We differentiate ourselves by moving quickly through applications, and we offer clear and concise feedback to artists that are accepted or rejected.
  3. Push Artistic Limits — As a launchpad, we should always be seeking out artists and art that are pushing the limits in the space.
  4. Clear Expectations and Feedback — The curation panel sets clear expectations in regards to the timeline for the review process. Feedback is provided to submitting artists in a concise manner to submissions that make it to curation for both go and no-go submissions.

Process and Timeline

The following is the proposed outline to the gm Studio curation process based partially on how this is working today, and how I believe it could be streamlined for ease and scale.
