Create Change Call for Proposals
About Create Change
Create Change is a six month public art residency program developed to connect communities and artists of color in meaningful ways. As a 2010 Create Change artist you will place art-making in the context of everyday living by:
- producing a site-specific, socially relevant installation at your local laundromat
- engaging your fellow laundry patrons as participants in your creative process;
- increasing your own visibility as an artist and a neighbor in the area you call home
The Create Change program invites you to use your creative practice as a vehicle to build relationships with and among your neighbors.
Create Change Public Artist Residents Receive:
- A modest stipend
- A materials budget to complete your Create Change project.
- Professional development specific to creating public works
- Opportunity to meet with other area artists to brainstorm ideas about your project once every other week
- Projects will be featured on The Laundromat Project’s website
- Community celebration featuring your work at the end of the residency cycle
Eligibility:
Create Change is open to artists of color living in the New York Metropolitan Area who are available to participate in residency activities between May and October 2010. Artists may work in any medium as long as they can adapt their creative practice to a site-specific project for their local laundromat. The program is not open to full-time students.
