Only 2D work will be accepted. Work must be ready to attach via a hook with wire or similar and cannot exceed roughly five pounds in weight per piece.
Each artist will receive a $1,000 stipend in recognition of their work. This is in collaboration with the Visual Arts Coalition for Equity’s (VACE) standard wage for a solo exhibition.
Each exhibition will run for approximately 8 weeks open on Saturdays from 12–5pm. Exhibition slots will be scheduled between August 2023 and June 2024.
Artists will be asked to do a video interview and participate in a Saturday public program/opening co-organized by Naomi Chambers of FlowerHouse.
Artists will receive professional documentation of the show organized by CDCP.
CDCP will work with artists to sell available works and artists will receive 80% of all sales in one payment at the end of the exhibition.
One of these exhibitions will align with Little Amal, a global art event coming to Pittsburgh. For this exhibition, we are especially interested in work that connects with the refugee experience, a newfound sense of home, or constellations.
