My friend Alyssa is an independent art curator and she’s working with Art For Change on an upcoming festival in East Harlem, called Hacia Afuera. The festival will take place August 22-23 in the streets and parks of Spanish Harlem.
The festival organizers have issued a call for submissions or project proposals in installation, visual, and performance art, which includes music and dance — that speaks to that community and has a social justice bent. I know some choreographers and dance artists read my blog, so I thought I’d put the word out here. If you’re interested in submitting (and please consider doing so if you have work that fits), go here for more information. The deadline is July 17th.
Is the dealine july 17th 2009? Thanks
Hi – The deadline for artist proposals was July 17, and we have already reviewed proposals and selected artworks for the exhibition. However, there are a number of other ways for you to participate as an artist in the Hacia Afuera public arts festival. We have several artists running arts workshops, and many other artists volunteering to assist with art performances, interactive art installations, assisting with arts workshops, and installing artworks. If you are still interested, it's a great way to connect with many other artists and arts organizations, and it will be a lot of fun! You can reach me at: alyssamf@gmail.com or 347-804-8336. Thanks for your interest!
Best regards,
Alyssa
