95 Artists—Open Call for Art

WHY: I-95 is arguably the most important highway in all of America.

This single line carries us to each other and binds us together. It takes us where we’re going, sends us back to where we’re from and it guides our escape.

Like scientists looking through a telescope into outer space, we stare up and down the line and wonder what kind of inspiration lies off the next exit. I-95 binds together countless thriving new arts communities worth exploring.

WHAT: A call for submissions by artists living along I-95 to create a piece that details their section of sprawl. Deadline is June 25. 95 Artists will survey the creative expressions in all media by artists living and working along I-95. It is about the people, place and things discovered alongside a lifeline we know so well.

WHO: are this year’s 95 Artists and what’s their section of the pike like?

WHEN: July 1-Sept 4, 2010. Opening recption July 10, 5-8 p.m.

WHERE: Umbrella Arts, 317 East 9th Street, East Village, NYC

Please consider submitting to 95 Artists so we can bring you together with other members of the many thriving communities along I-95 for one big, exciting summer group show.
