Open Call:

Dissent in art is a powerful and compelling expression of resistance, a means by which artists challenge the status quo, question authority, and provoke critical thought. Throughout history, visual art has served as a medium for dissent, allowing individuals to voice their opposition to prevailing ideologies, social injustices, and political regimes. This form of creative resistance manifests itself in various art genres, styles, and mediums.

Erotic August

Erotic August is a festival in Washington, DC, cosponsored by Rhizome DC and DC Dada. 

 

We seek participation including, but not limited to: visual, installation, and performance art for the month of August 2022.

 

About Erotic August:

We want to honor and respect, not shame and trigger.

We emphasize the joy, playfulness, and possibilities of erotic life. 

We love the new, weird, and hard to categorize.

 

About You:

You bring new stories, perspectives, and voices, especially from erotically marginalized adult populations, including the elderly and people with disabilites. 

You're excited to share your creations with the community of thought and the evolving public consciousness of erotiscism.

 

Folger Institute Artist Research Fellowship

The Folger Shakespeare Library has embarked on a major renovation project. While this work is underway and Folger collections are unavailable for in-person consultation, the Folger Institute is committed to continuing its support of collections-based research, and to providing scholars and artists with the resources they need to pursue and advance their work. 

The Folger Institute Artist Research Fellowship is open to artists working in all media whose work would benefit from significant primary research. This includes, but is not limited to, visual artists, writers, dramaturgs, playwrights, performers, filmmakers, and composers.
