Rochester

Rochester Contemporary Art Center invites artists to propose three images for a temporary public art installation on site outside RoCo. Through this call for art we aim to offer a simple submission process for incisive, surprising, and unique imagery that will enliven the East Avenue neighborhood. Of particular interest are projects that connect visitors to the location, community and/or history of the neighborhood, challenge visitors and passersby, and address important social and political issues. RoCo welcomes visual artists of all genres, and also invites visual artists to collaborate with literary artists as we have previously shown in this location.

Call for artworks

Pro-Creative

A woman possesses twice the procreative powers of a man: she is capable, as men are, of creating great works of art, and she is also capable of gestating and giving birth to a new human life. Feminists Choosing Life of New York (FCLNY), a non-profit, independent organization that empowers women and children and follows the Consistent Life Ethic, is seeking artwork in any medium that contradicts the current feminist narrative that a woman’s autonomy is her greatest strength and that pregnancy is a barrier rather than a boon to female creativity.
