APPLY HERE -- https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=15033 -- The Peekskill Arts Alliance (PAA) and HV MOCA, with funding from the Peekskill Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), seek proposals from professional artists or artist collectives interested in creating a design for a site-specific art installation as part of the Enlighten Peekskill Public Art Project. The artwork will serve as a welcoming introduction to Peekskill as residents and visitors move from the Hudson River Waterfront area to Downtown. The project will be installed on a series of 10 arches located at the intersection of South Water Street and Central Ave. The art work will be printed on vinyl banners, fitted to the arches that support the Rt. 9 Overpass. Artists should produce works that are interconnected by theme or imagery across the span of the 9 individual arches, each 23' h x 16' w. The 10th arch will be reserved for informational signage. We ask artists to be mindful that the arches location is a major site, large and prominent, visible from the passing trains, cars and passerby. Art work should be warm, welcoming, and appealing to the general public. It should grab the viewer’s attention – “stop them in their tracks”. This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks to add to and enhance the public art in Peekskill by replacing the beautiful but worn artwork, “Life,” created and installed by Peter Bynum a decade ago. The existing art features 9 large panels depicting abstract shapes that evoke (depending on the viewer microscopic cellular activity, undersea coral, vascular pathways or algae, plus a panel with information about the mural. “Life” was part of the Peekskill Project 6 exhibition organized by Hudson Valley MOCA (then called Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Arts) in 2015. The call for new art in this location should include a series of nine (9) designs that relate to each other, welcome visitors to Peekskill and celebrate the many unique characteristics of the city. Visitors will admire the creative public art presentations as natural extensions of what Peekskill is and will be.

The Iryna Zarutska Memorial Mural Project honors a young Ukrainian woman who was tragically killed in Charlotte after fleeing the war in Ukraine. We're creating large-scale photorealistic memorial murals across major US cities. These murals serve as a lasting tribute to Iryna and raise awareness about violent crime and the need for accountability in our justice system. This is an apolitical project focused on human dignity and community safety - a reminder that behind every headline is a real person whose life mattered, and that our communities must do better to protect vulnerable people.
