Call for Artists:

Bushwick IMPACT (a family center on Central Ave.) seeks a mural artist! We have a fabulous outdoor space that we’re converting into a garden and play area, and there are two large walls to paint. This project is being conducted in partnership with Arts in Bushwick.

The mural artist will work in conjunction with parents, children, and staff at IMPACT to come up with a concept that reflects our views of our community and goals. The artist will be responsible for the ultimate design. ** Previous experience with large-scale mural work absolutely necessary.**

If you would like to be involved with the project in some other capacity, that’s great, too! We also need volunteers for painting days (weekends TBD — we’re looking at the middle to end of May), landscapers, and gardeners.

Email chloe@artsinbushwick.org to sign up, ask questions, or get more information.

Arts in Bushwick is currently organizing a music marathon event to be held as part of the Bushwick Open Studios this summer. We need an eclectic mix of bands, singer-songwriters, MC’s, really any genre! There will be a strong concentration of Bushwick-based acts, but anyone can submit.

Please email us a link to your electronic press kit, myspace, or web page, and make sure there are music samples available. Along with your links please tell us a little about yourself

Note – This isn’t the typical booking process. We don’t care if you’ve never played a show in NYC and have 0 draw. Our goal is to give artists exposure.

Please submit everything by MAY 1ST to: chantilly@artsinbushwick.org.
