Call for Artists


95 Artists, the first annual 2-month exhibition of artists working in all media, is calling artists who live in states touched by Interstate 95. The exhibition is an open group show in New York City’s East Village. The deadline for submission is June 10. Read the following information below from Sean Corbett, the exhibition’s curator. Click here for the detailed document and application form.


WHY: I-95 is arguably the most important highway in all of America.


This single line carries us to each other and binds us together. It takes us where we’re going, sends us back to where we’re from and it guides our escape.


Like scientists looking through a telescope into outer space, we stare up and down the line and wonder what kind of inspiration lies off the next exit. I-95 binds together countless thriving new arts communities worth exploring.


WHAT: We are looking for all media. 95 Artists will survey the creative expressions in all media by artists living and working along I-95. It is about the people, place and things discovered alongside a lifeline we know so well.


WHO are this year’s 95 Artists and what’s their section of the pike like?


WHEN: July 1-Sept 4, 2010. Opening reception July 10, 5-8 p.m.


WHERE: Umbrella Arts, 317 East 9th Street, East Village, NYC


There is a $30 fee for each submission of 5 images (jpg).


Please consider submitting to 95 Artists so we can bring you together with other members of the many thriving communities along I-95 for one big, exciting summer group show.
