Call for Entries

Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) invites artists to propose three images for a temporary public art installation at our main facility. 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. RoCo also invites visual artists to collaborate with literary artists as we have previously shown in this location.

Earrings Galore is an annual juried exhibition of a rich and diverse array of earrings made by emerging and established studio jewelers. Each artist’s unique approach to the earring format will be represented in a cohesive grouping of 6 pairs of earrings. The grouping should show that it is made with intention, attention to detail and its functionality considered. The exhibition is intended to create more access for the public to engage with art jewelry, cultivate connections with the community and provide opportunities for people to add to their jewelry collection.
