Open Call for Art: "The Good Neighbor"

Description

We invite artists across all media to submit work that explores the theme “The Good Neighbor” for consideration. Through this exhibition, we hope to highlight the subtle or profound ways in which neighbors positively impact our lives, whether it’s the portrayal of a person or one’s quirky habits, the image of a place, recounting a memory (a neighborly gesture, quiet kindnesses, funny - or even awkward - moments), or drawing an abstract idea.

Submission Guidelines:

? Visual artists are invited to interpret (individually or as collaborators) the theme through their chosen medium, either 2D or 3D.
? Performance artists are encouraged to propose a theme-relevant, short (5-10 min) music/ dance/ spoken word act. The performance can be either a solo or a small group number.
? All submissions must be original works created by the artist(s).
? Artists may submit up to three pieces for consideration.
? Artists should be born or based in Queens, work in Queens or have a strong connection with the neighborhood.
