PATCHOGUE ARTS COUNCIL PRESENTS
Call for Installation Artists
October 26 – 28, 2017
The Patchogue Arts Council is pleased to announce that it is accepting submissions from installation artists to transform its gallery from October 26 – 28, 2017. The Patchogue Arts Council will be hosting its inaugural Founders Gala on October 26 at Toast Coffeehouse in Patchogue with an initial reception at the Patchogue Arts Gallery.
The theme of the event is based on Metropolis, Fritz Lang’s 1927 epic German Expressionist sci-fi film drama. The Founders Gala is also based on the Cubism, Futurism and Bauhaus art movements. The Patchogue Arts Gallery is a single space of approximately 25 by 50 feet with clean, white walls. The Visual Arts Committee will review all submissions. Proposals that lean heavily on video projection will be favored. Proposals should keep in mind that the reception will take place within the gallery space among the work. Interactive elements are welcomed. Each selected artist will receive a stipend of $250.00. The artist(s) and installation will be featured in the organization’s media promotions and subsequent press. This opportunity will provide the chosen artist(s) with a great deal of exposure. For questions or site visits, please contact [email protected].
