Open Call for Art

chashama–giving artists the space to create

Since 1995, chashama has championed the movement to repurpose vacant
properties in New York City; recycling them into temporary artist studios
and gallery spaces, while simultaneously invigorating the surrounding
community landscape with an influx of culture, creativity and business.

chashama invites you to submit a exhibition proposal, for our 2010 Summer
season. All of chashama?s visual art exhibit spaces are on the ground floor
of a building, or are easily accessible from the street. Most of them were
former retail stores, some have large street facing windows. chashama
transforms these vacant spaces into temporary exhibit spaces; each one is
unique in its layout and overall aesthetic.

Deadline: Artists must submit their application by July 15th, 2010 by
5:00pm.

RFP for MidBlock Parking Garage Mural in Jamaica, Queens, NY

averlyn — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:05:38 +0000

Project Description:
The Greater Jamaica Development Corporation (GJDC) is seeking proposals
from artists for a mural project in the MidBlock Parking Garage located
at 89-35 163rd Street in Jamaica, NY. The goal of the mural project is
to enhance the pedestrian pathway that stretches from the entrance to
the garage on 162nd street to the entrance on 163rd street. The mural
design should be contemporary, colorful and appropriate for a wall 248′
in length and 12′ in height. The mural will seldom be seen front on. For
pedestrians viewing the mural, it will be a progressive experience as
they move along the pathway. In conjunction with the mural project, GJDC
will also be enhancing the pedestrian pathway with new lighting.

Guidelines:
The design should be picture-based, not word-based. Designs that include
logos, copyrighted or trademarked images, advertisements, or political,
commercial, religious, or sexual symbols, themes or messages will not be
accepted. Designs should be appropriate for a diverse, broad-based
audience of all ages.

The artist will develop and submit a preliminary visual concept for the
mural to be painted on the concrete wall surface. GJDC staff members
will review the conceptual design for the mural project and provide
feedback to the artist/s before design approval.

Proposals should include the amount of time necessary to complete the
mural and materials needed.

Timeline:
Weather permitting; the mural project will begin in July.
Deadlines:
Conceptual Design Proposals due: *June 15th, 2010*
