Call for Art from the Arts Center of the Capital Region

CAPITAL REGION — The Arts Center of the Capital Region announces four calls for artists’ works. 

First, in the realm of public art, is The Uniting Line. A partnership between The City of Troy, Collar Works, The Arts Center, and TAP, Inc., this project brings an opportunity to submit a proposal to create public art on the pilings underneath the Hoosick Street Bridge. The submission deadline has been extended to Feb. 15. For more information, please go to artscenteronline.org/publicart/uniting-line.

Second, the 120˚ Intercollegiate Arts Regional calls for student artwork. This project is a revolving juried exhibit between The Arts Center of the Capital Region, Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council (LARAC), and Saratoga Arts.

The third is More Than A Sketchbook: The Diary of an Artist. The Arts Center is looking for 25 artists to sketch a portion of a sketchbook and submit one completed work during the winter of 2021. Sketchbooks will be on display with accompanying artwork for Arts Center visitors to look through. This project gives artists a chance to share their processes, thoughts, likes, dislikes, and personal creative journeys with the viewer. This is an opportunity for artists to present their work with the potential for discussion, education, and understanding. Our community members, viewers, and patrons can appreciate the skill, time, and development needed to implement an idea into a finished piece by engaging themselves with the process. The submission deadline has been extended to Feb. 15. For more information and to apply, go to artscenteronline.org/submissions.

Lastly is the 2021 open call for art, Artist Applications: All Mediums. Submissions will be considered for opportunities including solo exhibitions, small and large group exhibitions, performance, installation possibilities, and more. Artists in all media - clay arts, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, photography, performance, and mixed media presentations are invited to submit artwork for consideration. Artists must live within a 100-mile radius of Troy, NY to be considered. For more information and to apply, go to artscenteronline.org/submissions.
