Beyond/In Western New York 2010: Alternating Currents

This call for submissions is open to emerging and established artists and art collectives in Western and Central New York, Southern Ontario, Northeastern Ohio, and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Artists working in all media - film, installation, multimedia, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, performance, and video - are encouraged to submit work.

Thanks to the resounding success of Beyond/In Western New York 2005 and B/I WNY 2007, twelve local arts organizations, including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, will join forces once again for the 2010 iteration of this project. Beyond/In Western New York 2010 will continue to take a concentrated look at artists who are working in the specified project area.

At the same time, Beyond/In will undergo a transformation from previous years. Artists will be asked to respond to the theme “Alternating Currents,” which was developed by the project’s curatorial team. Under this thematic umbrella, and also new for 2010, will be a Non-Regional Component made up of invited artists from outside the established regional boundaries.
