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.

Rather than let the property sit vacant for the years leading up to development, bdp holdings would create a space where entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes could flourish and establish a footing in a unique setting. Small and micro businesses will populate the former tenant spaces. Montclair Flea is doing giant markets in the former grocery store space, artists of many disciplines are adorning our common area walls and corners with murals, sculpture, music and dance, and local food systems are taking root. The space is open 7 days a week to the public from 10am to 8pm and sees up to 5,000 people per weekend market day. Details: ● No Theme – Artists have creative freedom ● Murals to be painted in Fall 2025 ● Artists will receive a $1,500 honorarium (this covers all costs, including materials) ● A jury panel selected by Studio Montclair in accordance with public art best practices, will review and choose the final artists ● Murals will be featured for a term of six (6) months. ● Mural size is 17 feet wide by 8 feet high. (See photos below.) Don’t miss this chance to leave your mark on Montclair’s evolving arts district! For questions, contact Phoebe Pollinger, Studio Montclair, pmpartinc@aol.com – Include “Lackawanna Murals” in the subject.

Searching for a great place in Manhattan to have large wallscape mural. The mural would be fully permitted and have necessary lifts. Sketch would be a beautiful design done by professional artist.

Also, this could be a medium or large space and the image provided is just an example... it would be something much more artistic.

Launched in the fall of 2015, PAIR takes its inspiration and its name from the pioneering work of artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, the first official (unsalaried) artist-in-residence with the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY), 1977 – present. PAIR is based on the premise that artists are creative problem-solvers. They are able to create long-term and lasting impact by working collaboratively and in open-ended processes to build community bonds, open channels for two-way dialogue, and reimagine realities to create new possibilities for those who experience and participate in the work. Through a series of conversations, DCLA and a partner City Agency decide on a broad population, challenge, and/or goal the partner agency wishes to focus on. With Commissioner-level support, DCLA issues an open call for artists or recommends artists based on artistic excellence and demonstrated knowledge of the particular social issues addressed in the residency. The final artist selection is made in partnership with both agencies. Each PAIR is a minimum of one year. The residency begins with a research phase, during which the artist spends time at the agency meeting staff and learning about its operations and initiatives while also introducing their art practice and process to agency staff. The research phase concludes with a proposal from the artist outlining one or more public-facing participatory projects that will be implemented in partnership with the agency. Artists receive a fee, as well as in-kind resources such as desk space with the partner agency, an access to DCLA's Materials for the Arts.
