Artists Unite Issue

Call for artwork:

Artists Unite Creative Venues: Projection Show
June 25-27

When is a wall not a barrier?

Artists are invited to submit video or still images of work in any medium. The work will be projected onto a prominent building wall in northern Manhattan (the exact location in Washington Heights/Inwood will be announced once approval is finalized). 

Please submit work that considers the concept of wall — barrier, community, container, environment, canvas, etc. — in ways that transcend the cynical. The exhibition aims to create an instance of inspiration and wonder, using scale, wit, abstraction, analogy, and inquiry. The exhibition will simultaneously be exhibited online and remain as an archived exhibition at www.artistsunite-ny.org

Washington Heights/Inwood is a diverse community with a prominent Latino population and many visual and performing artists. The exhibition will be viewed by the general public over three evenings and coincides with the Uptown Arts Stroll, a month-long celebration of the arts in Northern Manhattan.

The exhibition will be drawn from invitations by the curators and through submissions.

To submit work for consideration, join Artists Unite’s member network if you haven’t already (http://artistsunite.ning.com) and upload submissions according to directions below. IMPORTANT: in the tag field for each photo or video, enter the word “wall” (Work without this tag will not be seen as a submission). Then send an artist statement and resume to websubmissions@artistsunite-ny.org.

• Photography or still images of other media: At the member network site, click on the tab Photos and then on the link “Add Photos.” Upload up to 6 images for consideration. Images should not exceed 2MB.
• Video: At the member network site, click on the tab Video and follow the upload procedure. Videos should not exceed 50MB and should be no more than approximately 1 minute in length and without sound.

Deadline for submission is Friday June 12 at midnight. Selection notifications will be made in approximately 2 weeks.

Curated by Anthony Archibald J. and Peter Ferko
