Brennan Courthouse rotunda in Jersey City houses the Brennan GalleryThe Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development has issued a call for entries for their upcoming Hudson County Arts Annual 2009:
“METROPOLITAN MEMORIES”
9.29.09 – 11.06.09
Submission Deadline: August 3, 2009
The exhibit will be shown at the Brennan Gallery in the Justice Brennan Court House, 583 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07306.
Curator: Mara Miller, Independent Curator and Director of 511 Gallery and 511 Projects, New York City and Lake Placid, N.Y.
METROPOLITAN MEMORIES seeks artwork (painting, drawings, prints, sculpture, fiber art and photo-based artwork) made by artists who live and work in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area, but who have relocated from other places (including within the boundaries of the two states), and whose art is rooted in memories of those previous sites. The curator is particularly interested in exposing work that carries within itself both a representation of the past – seen or “felt” by the artist – and reference to the effects of relocation. The exhibition aims to raise questions about migration and diaspora, from without or within the American nation. Download a full prospectus.
Eligibility: Artists must be over 18 years of age and live/work in the NJ/NY metropolitan area. Artwork in the following media may be submitted: drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, sculpture, fiber art, photo-based work. All work must have been completed in the last 3 years. READ THE PROSPECTUS FOR FULL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
Artists should be aware that individual artwork is not insured against theft or damage.
You must provide your own insurance policy against theft or damage if desired. The venue is, of course, a federal courthouse.
