Call to Artists: in/equality
Deadline - Friday, December 7
| |
In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. said:
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'"
Fifty years after this famous speech, the United States continues to grapple with issues of in/equality relating to race and ethnic background, gender, sexual identity, age, religion, physical and mental ability, education, profession, body size, and more. As a nation, we are not united on what constitutes equality, much less how to achieve it.
This exhibit will feature artwork that examines these issues from a variety of perspectives. New York State-based artists are invited to submit work that speaks to a specific equality issue, or contributes to the wider discussion of the meaning of equality in today's world. 2D, 3D, Video/Film/New Media/Interactive, and Installation work are eligible. Please click HERE for application guidelines.
There is no fee to enter.
Entries must be received no later than 5pm Friday, December 7.
For application information, please click HERE.

Diane Janowski & Denny Smith
Street Fashion Project is the title of the current exhibition at the Main Street Café in Elmira. Over the summer, photographers Diane Janowski and Denny Smith set up a portable photographic "studio" to document any persons willing to stand for a brief pose. A dozen of these unique photographs will be on display through January 11, 2013 at the popular downtown restaurant. The Street Fashion Project combines cultural anthropology, art performance, and exhibition. The photos were made at outdoor art shows, the Chemung County Fair and at Wisner Market. The photographs can also be enjoyed on a blog. For more information, please click HERE.
This project is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts' Decentralization Program, administered locally by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.
