The FiKVA Foundation and WG Gallery are excited to announce an Open Call for artists to submit their miniature artworks in any medium (except for digital work) for a unique and captivating exhibition.

Established in 2021, Long Meadow Art Residency (LMAR) is a passion project of founders David Feldman and Jennifer Herman-Feldman. First and foremost, they are true lovers of art and artists. Their continued support of artists through all phases of their creative journey is unique, championing great artists who, for whatever reason, were underrecognized and providing support to artists eager to make the time to hone their craft and the galleries that support them.

As LMAR enters their third season of a fully supported artist residency, Jennifer and David are restating their mission to provide a home and studio space, supplies and an interactive board for artists to stop, breathe and contemplate. Purposefully, this is a zero-expectation experience for the artists during their residency. The goal is for artists to have uninterrupted time to reassess, experiment, and explore their creativity, try new things while in the most beautiful, serene setting.

LMAR awards residencies’ three months in duration with a stipend of $3,000 per month, and an art supply/transport budget of up to $2,500, provides the use of a car, a house and art studio. The residency offers mentoring, support, interaction from the local community and collaboration from a Board of Directors that includes successful artists, gallerists, art historians, and collectors (please see here for more information about our Board of Directors).

Beauty is subjective in the eye of the viewer. Societal conventions pressure us to conform to like-mindedness, yet the most ethereal craft often originates from divergent work that transgresses tradition. True innovation and creative brilliance often occur when individuals question or break away from established norms. How does your work depict or challenge the concept of beauty?

Beauty in Decay is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

Totality
March 9 - April 20, 2024
Juried by Dr. Kent Scheller

Prospectus:
Totality refers to the sum or whole of an overall amount. Totality can also refer to a quality or state of being total, whole, or complete. The terms "totality" and "totalization" have been used in literary and cultural philosophy to refer to the possibility and practice of total, unified closure. It refers to the processes that enable seemingly unrelated events to convey themselves as part of a larger, more complex whole. Totality also describes a phase of an eclipse.

A total solar eclipse occurs every 18 months or so somewhere on the planet. The eclipse's total phase is visible from a narrow region of totality, where the Moon totally covers the Sun. This path is roughly 9000 miles long but only about 90 miles broad. April 8, 2024, New Harmony, Indiana, will be in the path of totality. To commemorate this astronomical event, we are seeking artwork related to and or inspired by the idea of an eclipse.

Accruing new meaning as they move from one place and context to another, material objects enable imaginative encounters between the indigenous and foreign, the familiar and unfamiliar. As curious containers of knowledge, culture, and purpose, these objects can spark a variety of reactions, from rejection to assimilation to appropriation and creative transformation.

This roundtable includes four ten-minute presentations on examples that embody conceptions of space and spatial movement within maritime Asia: Dutch and Portuguese maps of Indonesian islands, trade ceramics and spices, mirrors painted in Canton for domestic and western markets, and images illustrating the cosmopolitan Qing empire of the Manchus. Held in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition Chronicles of a Global East at the Seattle Art Museum, we invite you to join historians and archaeologists for a conversation that will deepen your understanding of the interconnected ancient global world.

The discussion will take place from 1:30–3 pm with a reception to follow from 3–4 pm. Attendees will have access to the galleries starting at noon.

OVERVIEW
The Town of Castle Rock Public Art Commission seeks proposals of artworks to welcome residents and visitors to the northern entrance of Downtown Castle Rock at the northeastern intersection of Interstate 25 and Wilcox Street.

Artists are invited to submit proposals for this exciting opportunity to celebrate and represent the Castle Rock community through a large-scale work of art. The ideal piece could tell the local story or history, strengthen community pride, evoke feelings of inspiration or joy, encourage fun and play or outdoor recreation, cultivate community dialogue, foster reflection, promote unity and connectedness or instill a sense of home and place.

The site is highly visible. It serves as the primary entrance to Downtown, can be seen from Colorado’s central north/south interstate and will be viewed by travelers when entering and leaving Castle Rock.

BACKGROUND
In thriving communities all over the world, the arts play an integral role in expressing community identity and conveying local culture and history. Public art inspires awe, enhances and beautifies shared public space, unites and promotes togetherness, honors local heritage, and pays tribute to history and public service.

Incorporated in 1881, the Town of Castle Rock is a vibrant and spirited community with a rich history and heritage. The Public Art Commission functions as the catalyst for local public art experiences and works to enhance community vibrancy and small-town character.

Castle Rock is known for its family-friendly charm, and our theme is “a world-class community with small-town character.” Castle Rock is distinguished by its vibrant and historic downtown, distinct identity as the Douglas County seat, and diverse and easily accessible recreation.

Located in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Castle Rock’s ridges, valleys, open space and spectacular views lend to a stunning natural setting. Creeks and gulches meander through the many drainage basins, and Ponderosa Pine and scrub oak dot the landscape. Panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains extend from Pikes Peak to the south to Longs Peak to the north.

At its founding, the namesake rock provided the landmark location for the Town. Ranching, the railroad, clay mines and rhyolite quarries formed the basis for Castle Rock’s early economy. The Town’s physical setting with its ridges creates a natural shape, and many residents strongly value the recreational activities these ridges now provide, such as hiking and mountain biking.

There is also growing excitement within the Castle Rock community to add additional artistic places of interest in Downtown. A recent public art questionnaire showed that 90% of respondents felt art added value to their community and this welcoming piece will be highly visible to locals and visitors alike as they drive in to enjoy special events, restaurants and shopping in Downtown.

SITE LOCATION AND ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS
The site is located at the northeastern portion of the intersection of Wilcox Street and W. Wolfensberger Road, adjacent to the entrance ramp to Interstate 25. The site used to serve as a gas station but was purchased and remediated by the Town. It is now a vacant lot with a gravel surface adjacent to a retaining wall owned by the railroad, a local business, Wilcox Street and the Interstate 25 northern on-ramp. As travelers exit the interstate and head east towards Downtown Castle Rock, the site is visible from the road.

The dimensions available for art installation are 40 feet wide by 140 feet long, but proposals do not necessarily need to fill the entire space or site. Ideal works of art would welcome visitors and provide passerby in vehicles readily available and safe viewing access. The ideal work of art would also not block the view of the Castle Rock above from the vantage point of the road and be able to withstand car pollution while maintaining graffiti/vandalism-proof qualities.

The site can be modified to provide anchors or a concrete pad(s), as well as electrical at the expense of the project budget. The retaining wall adjacent to the site is owned by the railroad property and may not be modified. Please reference the included site images.

PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS

The proposed artwork must be an original work.

The proposed artwork should be distinctive in design, color and subject matter and appropriate for public viewing of all ages. The piece will ideally be colorful to contrast the existing tan/concrete surrounding installation site.

Enjoyed day or night. Proposals and proposal budgets should include lighting elements.

The proposed artwork should be scaled for maximum viewability and be easily experienced from vehicle passerby in cars traveling both south and north along Wilcox Street.
The scale of the artwork should also relate well to surrounding architectural elements and be attractive from a distance, as well as up close.
The artwork may at some point be required to be relocated to a new location due to future regional transportation needs; ideal works would be sturdy and have the potential for relocation.
The artwork acquired for this site must be durable, low-maintenance, pose no hazard to the public (especially drivers), require minimal conservation (optimally maintenance-free for up to 15 years), meet safety standards and adhere to building codes and other state regulations.
Given the expected attention that this project will attract, the artist agrees to participate in any press/media-related opportunities as they arise, including, but not limited to, print, radio/televised interviews, and discussions/presentations, as deemed appropriate by the Public Art Commission.
Additional Considerations: the artist/artist team will not be responsible for the general maintenance of the sculpture, but agrees to be available after the completion of services for consultation if the need arises.

Potential adverse site conditions include: wind, sun, snow, extreme heat, freezing temperatures, potential for vandalism and graffiti, car pollution, etc. The selected artist will be required to provide a statement of recommended maintenance.

BUDGET
The budget for this commission, including all elements and the artwork’s foundation and lighting, is $200,000. Once a finalist is selected, 10% of the project budget will be paid to the artist for their design. The project will commence the following year (or as soon as possible) once funds are secured and the project and its budget is approved by Town Council. The remainder of the project payments will be completed in phases determined in agreement by the artist and the Town.

An itemized breakout of costs is required. Artists submitting proposals should include ALL expenses for the proposed art piece/s, including design fees, supplies and materials, the cost of transportation, per diem expenses, project documentation, insurance, sub-ground-level anchoring (footing), foundational requirements, excavation, engineering review and approval fees, labor and equipment, all costs of installation, any above-ground base, electrical connections for lighting and plaques/signage to identify the artworks.
Please note that the project budget must include travel expenses for site visits.
No design fees will be paid for preliminary sketches or designs submitted with the proposal.

ELIGIBILITY
The request for proposal is open to all artists/artist teams with legal status to work in the United States without preference to racial/ethnic origins, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or disability.

Any group or individual awarded the project will be required to have general liability insurance throughout the project and must submit a current certification of insurance at the time of signing a project contract to ensure that coverage limits are appropriate to the scope of the work being completed.

OWNERSHIP
The artist/artist team will retain the ownership of design ideas submitted for consideration until a selection has been made and a contract signed between the artist/artist team and the Town of Castle Rock. At that time, 100% of the ownership of the artwork produced, in whatever stage of completion, shall become the property of the Town of Castle Rock as a work made for hire as defined by the copyright laws of the United States.

The Town of Castle Rock shall be the exclusive owners and copyright proprietors of all rights and title in and to the results and proceeds of the artist’s/artist team’s services hereunder. In addition, the artist/artist team will represent being the author of the work and that all services are original by the artist/artist team and not copied in whole or in part from any other work. The artist should also agree to not install within a 50-mile radius of the site any additional exact duplicate or reproductions of the final artwork.

Each year NXTHVN welcomes up to seven artists and two curators to participate in its paid 10-month intensive Fellowship Program. The application is open until February 27, 2023. Each fellow will receive studio or office space, a stipend, and subsidized housing. Selected from an international pool of applicants, fellows relocate to New Haven to participate in NXTHVN’s mentorship-driven curriculum which includes professional development sessions led by visiting artists, curators, scholars, and practitioners. Selected fellows are also matched with a high school apprentice, for focused one-on-one mutual learning, which gives the next local generation a chance to grow and excel in creative fields. The fellowship year culminates with an annual group show at a prominent gallery space.

Beginners will learn the fundamentals of throwing clay on the pottery wheel. Brief discussions at the beginning of class will touch on contemporary ceramics and the skills we will be building to make our own work. Students will learn how to manipulate clay on the potter’s wheel to create functional, unique and personal pieces. We will focus on learning basic forms such as cups, bowls, and mugs. Students will learn how to embellish their pieces using slips (liquid colored clay) and glazes. All finished work will be food safe and fully functional.

Intermediate students are invited to practice wheel throwing techniques with the goal of refining your approach, building new skills, and challenging yourself to throw more advanced forms. Demonstrations will focus on techniques for throwing with consistent results, while also emphasizing the importance of design for making functional pots. Interested students may work on component making such as lids, spouts, handles, and/or matching sets. Ages: 15 - Adult

The Forecast Forum is meant for discussing and further developing the submitted proposals, and to test the potentials of individual practices and possible mentor–mentee collaborations. As an invited participant, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with a group of fascinating practitioners, both mentors and fellow participants, and to present and discuss your concept. Each mentor will work on the proposals by their three invited participants, aiming to find meaningful ways to develop them further. The Radialsystem building will be available for workshops, discussions, installations, performances, or other kinds of presentations.

The concluding Forecast Festival showcases the results of all six productions to the public, and conveys the project development and the mentoring process as such. This can happen in the form of installations, concerts, video screenings, performances, or any other kind of presentation to an audience. Each mentor helps to prepare and fine-tune the mentee’s work.
The open call for Forecast's ninth edition will be published in January 2024

Forecast has announced the six new mentors and its call for project ideas for the ninth edition of Forecast Mentorships.

Artistic practitioners and cultural producers working in all creative fields, anywhere in the world, are encouraged to apply to Forecast’s international mentorship program with projects that could benefit from the expertise of one of this edition’s mentors and their unique approach to material and knowledge production.

Send us your project ideas for the chance to work with one of the following mentors: Choreographer Alice Ripoll (BR), designer Fiona Raby (UK), photographer Lieko Shiga (JN), artist Theo Eshetu (UK), documentary filmmaker Tomer Heymann (IL), and composer and performer Ute Wassermann (DE).

The mentors in Forecast Mentorships’ 2024–25 edition push against the constraints of the practices with which they engage. They renegotiate the common definitions of their respective fields and experiment in ways that defy simple readings of their work.

The call is open to applicants of all ages and does not prescribe a theme. The only requirement is to submit projects that are relevant to the expertise of the mentor you wish to work with. Find out more about each mentor’s field of expertise and what they are looking for in a potential mentee on Forecast's website.
