An Outsider Art Show

The Outsider Collective will be hosting an Outsider Art Show for Artists of All Abilities on September 12th. We are looking for submissions of any subject matter of Outsider Art, Folk Art, Art Brut, Abstract Art, and art made from artists living with differing abillities.

Submit to Have Your Art on the Streets of Brooklyn

Papergirl-Brooklyn (PGBK) is an art project with an emphasis on social, sustainable, and cultural engagement that takes place in public spaces around Brooklyn. 
Artwork submissions must be rollable, high-quality, and non-commercial. 
Submissions are documented and shared on our website and social media. 
Copies of the artwork are printed onto large banners and are wheat-pasted in ten Brooklyn neighborhoods in an exhibition with an audio program component. 
The original artwork is rolled up and delivered in the style of newspaper delivery “paperboys” on bicycles at random and for free to people on the street. This action connects communities, decommodifies art spaces, and includes the public in a joyful action of giving.

#CreateBecauseWeCare Art Contest 2020

Each day during this pandemic, many of us across New York City and the world unite at 7PM to #ClapForOurCarers and #ClapBecauseWeCare to show support for our incredible health care and essential workers. 

Inspired by this movement, we at Big Screen Plaza have started #CreateBecauseWeCare, a public art contest to broadcast all-day messages of support, thanks, and hope on our 30-foot digital billboard in the heart of New York City!

Whether you’re working from home and need an activity to keep yourself or the kids busy, or are itching to shout-out positive messages to those on the frontlines, we encourage submissions from all perspectives and corners of the globe.

Craftsmanship meets Digital Fabrication

This design-build program aims to strengthen the tradition of building and craftsmanship enhanced with the use of digital tools and computer simulations.

Held in Alentejo, Portugal on the site of CLARA Center for Rural Future and organized by Passa Ao Futuro and Adrian Krezlik, this program is the first in a series of design-build summer camps to take place in the coming years. Open to architecture and design students or young professionals.
