Don't Put Me In A Box

"Don't Put Me In A Box", curated by Executive Director Johannah Hutchison of International Sculpture Center, presents work by New Jersey artists responding to the assignment to create work outside of the box. This group show of shoebox-scale sculpture, constructions, pastiche/collections, and multi-media arrangements, reflects on themes of structure/limitation, and identity/self-definition. The exhibition is to be presented at the Firmament Gallery of the Nimbus Arts Center, a site of the International Sculpture Center's Annual Conference.

This call is open to all New Jersey artists, no membership required.

Artwork may not exceed 24" (60.96 cm) in any one direction.

Submissions close September 8th, 2023. Participants will be notified by September 12th, 2023.

Seeking Live Performance Proposals for The Outlet Dance Project

We are seeking proposals for new site-specific dance pieces that are between 7 – 12 minutes in length. Choreography is to be in conversation with specific sculptures and the land/surroundings at Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) along with the theme of STORY.

We are looking for proposals from choreographers of marginalized genders. This includes people who are trans, cis-gender women, non-binary, two-spirit, agender, gender fluid, gender expansive, or those who may be questioning their gender.

The Outlet Dance Project (TODP) is committed to supporting all dance forms. We strongly encourage artists from traditionally underrepresented communities to apply.

Dance on Film Festival. Deadline September 28.

We seek short dance-films that not only show excellence in this genre, but also have connections to site-specificity, architecture, and/or sculpture as well. For 2022, we are particularly interested in screen-dance exploring environment, climate change (and all that entails), earth, clay, mud, soil, ceramics, fragility, histories, etc. We are interested in how site-specific films can be connected through those themes with two exhibits at Grounds For Sculpture: Fragile: Earth by The Color Network, which frames artists’ reflections on social, environmental, and individual perceptions of fragility through the unique materiality of clay and ceramics and The Village Potter by Roberto Lugo.
