Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition presents:

WIDE OPEN 7 - Call for Artists

Deadline: March 15th, 2016

We are excited to announce our seventh annual national juried art show, WIDE OPEN 7, opening May 7, 2016. And again this year, we are privileged to have another of NY's art elite as our juror, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's, Beth Saunders, Curatorial Assistant. With her guidance and selections, we look forward to another spectacular show..

Show Details
WIDE OPEN 7: The broad theme of "Wide Open 7" encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love - wide open spaces...arms wide open...eyes wide open - but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite - wide open to attack...corruption...failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore the idea of "wide open" in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche.

Eligibility
This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older. This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2D and 3D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution. Note: Crafts, kit work or reproductions of original works in other media (such as giclee reproductions of oil paintings), unless used as part of a mixed media work, will not be considered.

 
Submission & Exhibition Dates

  • Submission Deadline: Early Bird March 1 or Final Application Deadline March 15, 2016.
  • Gallery Exhibition Dates: May 7-June 12, 2016 weekends 1-6P.M.

Juror
Beth Saunders, Curatorial Assistant at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, holds a BFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MPhil from the CUNY Graduate Center, where she is currently a PhD candidate in Art History. Before joining the Met as curatorial assistant, she was a Jane and Morgan Whitney Art History Fellow.
