The Open Wall Project
The Arts Center of the Capital Region introduces The Open Wall Project, a program that gives local artists a platform to display their work. This opportunity features a 20.5-foot wall located in the foyer of The Arts Center, offering a space for creative expression.
A Platform for Creative Expression
The Open Wall Project is a monthly rotating program that invites artists to share their work with the community. Each month, a new artist will use the wall to present their perspective, providing visitors with an ongoing connection to local art.
Why Participate?
– Visibility: Display your work where it will be seen by visitors to The Arts Center.
– Community Connection: Meet other artists, art supporters, and potential patrons.
– Professional Development: Gain experience and add a unique display to your portfolio.
How It Works
The Open Wall Project accepts submissions from artists of all backgrounds and disciplines through a rolling application process. Selected artists will install their work and share their vision with the community. Our goal in selecting artists to showcase their work is twofold: to honor the order of application submissions and to ensure that each exhibition reflects a variety of artistic mediums, styles, and themes throughout the year.
Submission Guidelines
– Installation: Artists are responsible for installing their work. Basic tools will be provided for use.
– Artwork: Submissions may include painting, photography, mixed media, or other visual art forms. Work must fit the 20.5-foot wall dimensions.
– Application: Include a brief artist statement, a description of your proposed work, and high-quality images of previous pieces.
