-

Call for participation – Artist Opportunity with Newark Open Doors

DEADLINE for listing August 1st, 2016 5pm

Individual Artist-Registration

Artists! Do you want to have your work seen by thousands of people?

This call is for individual artists who want to be considered for exhibition and other opportunities, including curator review, during Newark Open Doors.

The Newark Arts Council is excited to invite you to participate in Open Doors 2016, the citywide arts festival. Open Doors takes place over four days in NJ’s largest city, Newark. Now in its 15th year, the festival draws thousands of visitors, as more than 40 venues join forces to showcase visual, performing, and literary art. In 2016, the festival will run concurrently with the Dodge Poetry Festival and the Newark Celebration 350, which marks the city’s 350th birthday.

Opportunities for individual artists include consideration for curated exhibits, access to temporary space in which they can individually showcase their works, artfair/project style during October 20-23, and having your artwork shared with curators

The sheer depth and breadth of cultural activity currently going on within city limits is fantastic. We look forward to working with you to make this festival great, not only for the public but because we can all inspire each other.

The images and information gathered in this form will be used actively by NAC staff to promote you and the festival, including via a social media campaign featuring exhibits and artists. Please supply images that you feel great about!

Submission of this form does not guarantee you space. Please submit works that are representative of what you would showcase during October. Incomplete applications, work that has been exhibited during Open Doors in previous years, and works older than 3 years will not be reviewed or considered. Works will be insured under the Newark Arts Council's policy during the time they are on view in the exhibition space. The Newark Arts Council provides no support for preparation of work, i.e. framing, wiring, or any related supplies. Works submitted must be ready for display.



This year the NAC has contracted with Gallery Aferro to produce Open Doors, your contact person will be Evonne Davis, she can be reached [email protected] or 862-234-5782
