The New York City Parks Department is seeking applications for an annual public art exhibition that is taking place next year on the Lower East Side.
The submissions are now being accepted for the Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award. More from the department’s web site:
The Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award is granted annually to one emerging artist who submits the most compelling proposal for an outdoor sculpture in a New York City park. The location changes annually and is determined based on the site’s visibility and proximity within a neighborhood underserved by public art. Sara D. Roosevelt Park, located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side has been selected as the location for the 2014 Award. All proposed artwork must be sited for the plaza between the basketball courts and the stairs located on Houston Street between Chrystie and Forsyth Streets.
The submission deadline is January 31. More details available here.
