ELIGIBILITY

International Portrait Film Festival - Open Call 2023

IPFF is on the path towards its fourth edition in 2023. Once again, we will celebrate short portrait cinema and art which explores, educates, and transforms.

PHILOSOPHY

A portrait is an image heavy with meaning. Multilayered and multifaceted, it has a visual, psychological, material, emotional and spiritual dimension.

A portrait always undergoes a transformation. It imitates and repeats life, but becomes something or someone new along the way. It changes its original subject while capturing it. Then the portrait is transformed again through the mind of every brave interpreter.

Beyond Mud: Ceramics in 2023

A NATIONAL JURIED ART EXHIBITION MAY 13  to JUNE 18, 2023
Beyond Mud: Ceramics in 2023, a national juried art exhibition sponsored by the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, is seeking ceramic work that explores ideas about form using clay. We are interested in work that is beautiful, exciting, edgy, unusual and/or wonderful. Functionality is not required.

Curator: Sandra Forrest
Juror: Talia Shiroma, Curatorial Assistant, Arts of the Americas and Europe at the Brooklyn Museum

In late May, during the show, BWAC will participate in the Brooklyn Ceramic Arts Tour, a three-day Open Studios Brooklyn-wide event.

Recycle 2023

Recycle 2023, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalitions national juried show of art crafted from castoff, discarded, and repurposed materials, will be a celebration of ingenuity and imagination. We are seeking to exhibit sophisticated two and three dimensional art created in the reuse genre. BWAC is seeking original artwork from artists working in repurposed materials. Entries must incorporate at least 50 percent of repurposed, recycled, or reused materials. The theme is open to any medium resulting in 2-Dimensional or 3-Dimensional work. As well as looking for skill in the use of material, we want to see art that demonstrates the importance of conserving our limited natural resources.
