CALL FOR ARTISTS
Wickham Works seeks artists for an outdoor public art exhibition titled Voces/Voices. Commissioned artworks responding to the theme of “Finding Your Voice” will be displayed in public parks in the Town of Warwick from August 14th - 31st, 2021
You can read more about Voces/Voices here.
We are open to artworks in all media, but pieces must be able to be displayed outdoors for a 2 week period, and should be appropriate for display in a public space. Artists who are traditionally underrepresented-–including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Artists must be present to install and de-install their artwork. There will be an outdoor Opening Event at the artwork sites, which we hope selected artists will attend.
Selected artists will be provided with an honoraria of $500, plus agreed-upon budget for materials and/or help sourcing materials. One of Wickham Works’ guiding principles is creative reuse and we would be happy to work with artists to source repurposed materials for their projects. We will handle permits for the sites and monitor the pieces during the exhibition period. Assistance with installation and deinstallation will also be available. Wickham Works will create exhibition signs and promotional materials. The work remains the property of the artist.
