The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts are pleased to present this call for artists as part of the Coastal Risk Communications Campaign. This exciting opportunity is open for submissions from professional artists, over the age of 18, who are current residents of the State of New Jersey, or who live within 100 miles of the New Jersey state border.
This project seeks to engage 4 artists, or artist teams, to create original, site-specific artwork and related community engagement(s) that address the theme of climate resilience and coastal flooding, particularly as related to coastal communities in New Jersey. Selected artists will be paired with NJ Community Based Organizations (CBOs) in coastal areas to plan, implement, document, promote and share the artists’ work with the community.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted no later than Monday, March 8th, 2021 at midnight via www.callforentry.org (CAFÉ). No extensions to the deadline will be granted.
Only one submission per artist/artist team may be submitted.
Notification of awards will be made in late April. Stipends of $7,000 will be provided by the CBOs to commission selected projects, with finished work expected for community events and exhibition in Summer 2021.
