Display Your Art & Get Paid: Brownsville Matters

ArtBridge in partnership with the Brownsville Community Justice Center is seeking *East Brooklyn-based artists to submit artworks that for consideration to our upcoming exhibition, Brownsville Matters. Submitted works should emphasize East Brooklyn’s cultural and creative identity, and how you relate to that identity as an artist.

Curators, Farrah Lafontant of the Brooklyn Arts Council, and RujekoHockley of the Brooklyn Museum will narrow down the submissions to a group of top selects. These top artwork selections will be presented to the community, at an open meeting, where everyone in attendance will be able to vote for the works that will untimely be exhibited.

Selected artists will receive an honorarium, and their works will be photographed and reproduced on billboard-sized vinyl mesh that will hang on the metal fencing on Thatford Ave at the Langston Hughes Houses in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Special consideration will be given to Langston Hughes residents. Deadline to submit is 8/14/16.
