the word

Yellow mustard is a staple of the Southern refrigerator, but it doesn’t appear in mine.  I love mustard, but the older I get the more I appreciate pungent flavors.  And well, yellow mustard doesn’t, well, cut the mustard anymore.  That’s right, folks, I’m a rebel.  You’ll only find Dijon mustard in my house.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Street

 

Public.  

Rebellious.  

Anonymous.  

Elusive.  

 

These qualities come with the territory of Street Art.  However, a growing trend to display such artwork in gallery spaces necessarily obfuscates these seemingly essential features of the art form.

The upcoming exhibit at ARTs East New York explores a complicated question: What is left of Street Art once it’s taken off the street?  Off the Street will feature works that are more than just gallery-ready replications of artwork on the street, but are instead explorations extending the space of the “street” from the physical to the conceptual.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All media

DEADLINE:
March 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
mid March

ENTRY FEE: None

SALES: ARTs East New York will charge a 10% commission fee.
