Asian American Arts Alliance Calls for Artist Proposals: Locating the Sacred Festival
Locating the Sacred is a twelve-day, twenty-event festival coordinated by the Asian American Arts Alliance (a4) that brings together artists and spaces in New York for creative explorations of the sacred. The festival showcases the diversity and talent of the Asian American community, which now constitutes more than 1 million people in New York (13 percent of the population) and is the most rapidly growing cultural group in the city.
Deadline: February 20, 2012
Applications are now being accepted from artists for projects to be presented as part of the festival in Fall 2012. For selected festival events, a4 will act as an umbrella, matching artists with space hosts —from museums to schools to churches— in an attempt to generate creative collaborations across ethnic, religious, geographic and aesthetic boundaries. The result of these collaborations will be presented for all New Yorkers to experience, and will benefit from the festivalʼs “stamp”, from underwriting for artist fees of up to $2,000 depending on the scope of the project, and from the festival's citywide PR and marketing campaign.
The festival will showcase more than a dozen collaborations across the city in the fall of 2012.
