MAPPING THE WORLD OF EMERGING ART**
The Mapping Project, an initiative conceived by (e)merge co-founder Jamie Smith, invites anyone, anywhere in the world, who works with or supports emerging art – artists, gallerists, curators, arts professionals, and collectors – to “map” themselves on our interactive website. Participants will help create a picture of the world community of emerging art by uploading photographs of art to display on the map, along with their names and locations. (e)merge wants to learn who you are and see what you are doing.
