Tiny Roost Gallery; Art on the Outside

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS!

​

Submissions deadline is February 25, 2022

Notification of acceptance by March 15

First exhibition to take place April 1- April 29

​

Roost Studios will award 4 artists a solo exhibition opportunity to create a month long

installation in the Tiny Roost Gallery "Art on the Outside".

What we are looking for

The challenge is to develop an innovative art project that meaningfully engages with issues of advocacy, justice, and community-building.

All art forms will be considered — visual/ conceptual art, photography, new media, video, audio, creative writing, or other forms.

Visual art must be central to the project, and be designed to fit within the format of the Tiny Roost dimensions.

The proposal must reflect an informed understanding of the particular art form(s) being used, as well as of the issues relevant to the communities being served.

In addition Artists must explore supporting activities surrounding the installation that may take the form of “social practice” that engages communities in an interactive exchange. For example, a performance, drama or dance, a poetry reading, and artist talk, a garden, a meal, a website, a story exchange, or an urban planning project, and more.
