Hudson Valley Artists 2010: Contemporary Art and Praxis
Call for Artists
The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art invites artists to submit proposals for its annual exhibition of work by regional artists. This year’s exhibition—Hudson Valley Artists 2010: Contemporary Art and Praxis—will be curated by Thomas Collins, Director of the Neuberger Museum at SUNY Purchase. Collins will select work from approximately 20 artists and artist teams from the Hudson Valley for an exhibition that will be on view at the Dorsky Museum from June 26-September 25, 2010. Artists are invited to submit slides of existing work or to propose new works or site-specific installations. The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 19, 2010.
Hudson Valley Artists 2010: Contemporary Art and Praxis will present the work of artists living and working in the Hudson River Valley who are engaged with innovative approaches to art making that demonstrate how creative practice can operate in service of theory to effect changes in the real world.
New this year to the Dorsky Museum’s Hudson Valley Artists exhibition series is an expansion of the residency requirement to include artists from Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester Counties. Also new is the introduction of a Hudson Valley Artists Annual Purchase Award of $3,000 to be used to acquire one or more artworks from the exhibition for the Dorsky Museum’s permanent collection. This Purchase Award is made possible through the Alice and Horace Chandler Art Acquisition Fund. Artists whose work was purchased in 2009 are photographer Gilbert Plantinga and painter Thomas Sarrantonio.
