Artist Open Call

Through the Artist Open Call, artists self-select to participate in opportunities, rejecting the traditional selection process as hierarchical and driven by a scarcity mindset. Artists meet weekly to build trust and connections through Zoom or in-person conversations. This preparatory exploration then impacts the creative process on-site.

Currently underway:

Public yards is a project based on the Artist Open Call Framework where 8 artists are creating public outdoor work and engaging every other Saturday morning for 1.5 hours in conversation around their art practice. In September work will be going up in Saugerties, Wappingers Falls, Barryville , Burlington and several other locations. Stay tuned.

To follow the project: @publicyards

Ritual is a project based on the Artist Open Call Framework where eight artists are creating public outdoor work around the topic of ritual. Artists are meeting weekly for one hour. Finished work will be placed on eight individual 5’x5’ meshes and be installed from California to NYC starting in July.
