Short Description
The Wassaic Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, uses art and arts education to foster positive social change. We nurture connections between our artists and our neighbors facilitating a mutual broadening of perspectives and respect across economic and cultural boundaries.
Eligibility
This year, we’re looking for some seriously eerie proposals: think of site-specific installations in Maxon Mills, outdoor creations, and performances that will make your skin crawl. We want haunted games, creepy trick-or-treat stations, and any other spine-chilling ideas you can conjure up!
For installations and performances, you’ll have total creative freedom—just keep it PG-13! If you’re an artist who loves to push boundaries, embrace the strange, and work independently, this is the residency and exhibition for you! For performances: if your work is time-based or has video documentation, you may also link to media from YouTube, Vimeo, or SoundCloud.
Submission Requirements
Contact information Proposal 1–10 work samples (5 or more images of completed works and 1-5 sketches, mock-ups, or works in progress of what you’re thinking about for your installation) CV (PDF, 2 pages maximum)
