*CALL FOR ENTRY / NYC-BASED PHOTOGRAPHERS* PHOTOWEEK NYC, OCTOBER 2019

Deadline: Apply by October 3rd, 2019

Exhibition Dates: October 14-19th, 2019

Free submission entry

Pollinate and The Martin Bough Project is excited to present the first edition of PhotoWeek NYC that will feature 15 photographers exhibited in 15 local businesses’s storefronts. Artworks will be available for purchase online thanks to QR codes that visitors and passersby will be able to scan with their smartphones. 100% of the sales will go to the artists.

Concept:

PhotoWeek is New York City’s street-wide photography exhibition that works directly with local businesses and undeveloped land to help drive foot traffic to the stores that give the city it’s unique character. Starting on 27th Street (Fashion Institute of Technology) and finishing on 14th Street, 7th Avenue (The New School) the exhibition will provide a platform to the city’s aspiring artists and photographers by giving them a unique way to showcase their work. A reinvention of the retail experience, PhotoWeek will provide a reason for New York residents to re-engage with the businesses on their block by building community, driving commerce, and fostering creative collaboration.

Events: 

Drawing on the PhotoWeek Friends and Family we will host pop-up walking tours (1 per day) hosted by influencers from the creative and business community. Tour guides include: award winning entrepreneurs (Gary Vaynerchuk, Bonin Bough), advertising world luminaries (David Droga, Hannah Broffman), Grammy Award Winning musical artists (Wyclef Jean), c-suite executives from creative businesses (Adobe, Kodak, Canon USA).

Eligibility: Artists must be located in NYC. We embrace diversity and encourage photographers from all backgrounds to apply.

Artists must have photos already printed but we will provide frames. We have 16x20 inch black frames available and mats precut for 8" × 10" prints. We will have art handlers to help for the installation but we welcome and encourage the artists to help out during installation.
