600 Artists
Deadline: February 24
 
Application Fee: Early Bird - $50/3; Final Deadline - $70/3; $6 ea addt'l image.

The broad theme of "Wide Open 10" encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love - wide open spaces ... arms wide open ... eyes wide open - but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite - wide open to attack ... corruption ... failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore the idea of "wide open" in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche.

Ours is a truly unique gallery - 25,000 square feet in a Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. The vista of New York Harbor, spanning the Statue of Liberty to the Verrazzano Bridge is one of the best in the city. Our 18,000 annual visitors also enjoy the nearby restaurants, bars, IKEA and Fairway Market. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit large work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist's work from all around the country, work in all sizes, and subjects, and media.
 
We have two synergistic missions:
* to assist emerging artists in advancing their artistic careers;
* to present the art-of-today in an easily accessible format.
 
Our juror is Ylinka Barotto, Assistant Curator at the Guggenheim Museum. $3000
in Cash Awards.

We have two synergistic missions:
  • to assist emerging artists in advancing their artistic careers
  • to present the art-of-today in an easily accessible format.
Recycle 2019, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition's national juried show of art crafted from cast-off, discarded, and re-purposed materials, will be a celebration of ingenuity and imagination. We are seeking to exhibit sophisticated two- and three-dimensional art created in the re-use genre.
 
As well as looking for skill in the use of material, we want to see art that demonstrates the importance of conserving our limited natural resources. We look for how well the medium relates to the upcycling movement and how fully the artist's intention or concept is presented and realized. The juror's awards will reflect that artistic judgment. $3000 in Cash Awards
 
Note: All judging to enter this competition will be on-line. Decision of the judges is final.
Marketing: 
Online postings, mailed postcards, press-releases to regional media.

The "entertainment" is art projects and artist demonstrations. Patrons are invited to get their hands dirty.  All of this helps to contribute to appreciation and sales.

What Artists Say:

Artist comments from our most recent artist survey (2017):
  • A good experience overall for me! My art was very well received and my sales good!
  • Great festival overall, and I was very pleased with how well my "::" art was received in a predominately conservative Mormon community.
  • Best show that I participate in. The committee and volunteers are amazing. 
  • Great staff! Great booth sitters! And a great experience! I did far better than I expected.
  • I wish all our shows were run as well as Summerfest.

The show is held in beautiful Palmer Park and is adjacent to some of the city's best neighborhoods.  Residents are professionals with huge homes and great disposable income.  Our experience is the shoppers like more traditional images, and afro-centric work also does well. Don't be afraid to bring larger work as many people have substantial historic homes. 
 
The show winds around a pond and runs adjacent to the historic log cabin.  Artists are encouraged to get out of the tent and create installations that enhance their work and interact with the natural beauty of the park.
 
The "entertainment" is art projects and artist demonstrations. Patrons are invited to get their hands dirty.  All of this helps to contribute to appreciation and sales.
 
Why you should be here:
  • Limited to 65 artists
  • Significant paid advertising and news coverage
  • Easy drive up unloading
  • Experienced artists friendly organization
  • Free parking and RV parking
