SYRACUSE, NY (May 4, 2011) — The Everson Museum of Art, along with all The Other New York: 2012 partners, announces a call for artists. Artists wishing to submit to this community-wide biennial exhibition may do so through June 30, 2011 at http://www.everson.org/curators/. TONY: 2012 is organized by Everson Museum of Art in collaboration with ArtRage-The Norton Putter Gallery, Community Folk Art Center, Erie Canal Museum, Light Work, Punto de Contacto/Point of Contact, Red House Arts Center, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, SUArt Galleries, Urban Video Project, The Warehouse Gallery, and The City of Syracuse.
"The Other New York: 2012 is a community-wide, multi-venue biennial exhibition that is the result of a major collaboration among 12 art organizations in Syracuse," said Debora Ryan, Everson Museum of Art senior curator. "Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply."
This ambitious project aims to highlight the rich talent of artists across Upstate New York, with a special focus on Central New York and the surrounding counties. The project will offer diverse art venues and outdoor public spaces for contemporary creative expression on a scale not before seen in Syracuse. In addition, TONY: 2012 demonstrates the power of artistic partnerships to boost public awareness of the arts by presenting opportunities for the community to connect with exhibitions, programs, and events offered simultaneously throughout the city. The exhibition will open to the public during the fall of 2012.
Alternative art spaces in the form of freight containers will provide temporary exhibition/installation sites. The containers will be strategically located in the city to link arts venues and encourage visitors to walk and experience art along the way.
Artists may submit online only, no hard copy submissions will be accepted. The deadline for entries is June 30, 2011. Artists will be notified of their acceptance by December 31, 2011. Artists may submit images of their work, video files, or proposals for new work. A one-page resume, one-page artist's statement and a detailed, typed checklist of all digital images or video files that are being submitted are also required.
