SculptureCenter is making an open call for its In Practice program now through June 17. In Practice supports emerging and under-represented artists in creating new work for exhibition at SculptureCenter. We invite artists to submit proposals for new projects to be presented beginning in January of 2012. Artists selected for the In Practice program will receive a $250 honoraria and up to $1500 in production support. The level of production support will depend on the scope of accepted works and available funding.
During 2013-2014, SculptureCenter will be undergoing extensive building renovations. We are taking this opportunity to encourage emerging artists to propose projects outside of the confines of traditional exhibition formats. The main space and gallery B on the upper level may be considered for short-term, temporary presentations of performance, audio, film and video works. Publication projects, proposals for the website, public works, the building exterior, and interventions into other parts of the city are also welcome for this year’s In Practice open call. Artists are encouraged to experiment with unconventional display and exhibition formats.
SculptureCenter is a not-for-profit arts institution that takes the history and legacy of sculpture as a framework from which to consider the diverse activity taking place in the field of contemporary art. SculptureCenter’s program encourages artists and audiences to explore the possibilities of sculpture and the multifarious ways in which sculpture is developing and connecting to other forms of expression.
SculptureCenter seeks proposals that offer new ways of considering sculpture or further the understanding of the discipline and how it can intersect with architecture, performance, painting, photography, film and video, sound, and new mediums. Proposals will be reviewed relative to the following criteria:
– Quality of the proposal and prior work
– Responsiveness to the site and the specific context of SculptureCenter
– Feasibility of the project
Applications must be submitted electronically through the website by midnight on June 17, 2013. SculptureCenter staff and advisors will conduct a preliminary review of proposals. A limited number of artists will be contacted for further information and/or studio visits. Submitting artists will be notified by email by September 30, 2013. A detailed FAQ is available on the website; no calls please.
