Haverstraw RiverArts & Music Festival is excited to announce a call for entry, to its HAVERSTRAW RIVERART PROJEX: 3, Live Art Event, to be held in Emeline Park, located on the shore of the Hudson River in the Village of Haverstraw, September 17th, 2016.
In an experimental spirit, HAVERSTRAW RIVERART PROJEX: 3, Live Art Event, welcomes artists interested in moving from the traditional studio, gallery and museum space into an outdoor landscape setting.
The Haverstraw RiverArts & Music Festival’s HAVERSTRAW RIVERART PROJEX: 3, Live Art Event, is an interactive art project assembled on site with a mission to express and interpret the “cultural landscape” of this vibrant river town through art. The art may be made from found or indigenous materials on the Hudson River as well as outside materials. The art may take the form of any art media that can withstand the elements of one day in nature. Sculpture, painting, mixed media, tactical and site performance, temporal installations, video, sound projections, or multimedia digital platforms are acceptable.
Up to 5 selected artists or artist teams will receive a $500 honorarium per submission.
Artists must be crowd interactive and on site from 12pm until the festival ends at 6pm.
Artists must submit a brief description for all installations. All proposals are due on June 23rd, 2016. Individual Artists may apply but artist teams are encouraged to apply.
The artwork chosen should in some respect reference at least one of the following: the Hudson River that flows past the village, its geology, its natural assets, its people and diverse culture, or references to its long and important history as described in the prospectus.
