Artwork Wanted!
The
Antagonist Movement & Fourth
Arts Block
New Project:
Show Flyers
The lead
non-profit of the district is Fourth Arts Block:
Fourth Arts
Block was founded in 2001 as the non-profit leadership organization for the
East 4th Street Cultural District, a historic and vibrant arts corridor in
Manhattan between Second Avenue and Bowery. Now a neighborhood-wide coalition
of cultural groups, FAB works to put culture at the center of community
development, while preserving the Lower East Side’s rich heritage and
creativity.
Deadline:
Noon of April 20th.
The official
title of the show has not been decided upon yet. These will be wheat-pasted
onto the wall behind CBGB’s. It is the same alley where bands used to load and
unload their equipment. We will also use selected flyers for a fanzine
commemorating this show. Any money we make from selling these fanzines will go
into a fund for our next international project in Ecuador. Selected artists
will have their work printed by us at 8.5 x 11”. A few will be chosen to have
their pieces become oversized posters (meaning we will ask you to print them as
large as you can and mail them to us—5 feet at minimum). Sorry but we will be
unable to return them. Nothing pornographic will be allowed. We are working
with the city for this project, and our main curator has asked us not to hang anything
that might frighten little children. We reserve the right to reject anything
for any reason.
Please
keep in mind, this will be filmed! By sending a submission you are giving
consent to have your work be included in our movie.
Theme:
Band flyers
for shows that could have played at CBGB’s between 1972-2040. You may use old
copier-machines, scanners, hand drawings, clip art, Photoshop—whatever you
want. It just needs to look like an inexpensive flyer and not from a large
club with a big budget.
Real or fake bands are both acceptable.
Each flyer
should include:
Time
Date
Location
(this should say CBGB’s)
Cover $
Name of band
Artwork (this
is crucial!)
In the email
subject please write "Flyer show" and your name.
In the body
of the email please include your name again, location, age, website (if you
have one), and how you heard about the project.
Artwork can
be black and white, or color. The finished wall will be half black and white
and the half color. The alley wall nearest the street will be in black and
white.
.jpg or .tiff
files can be emailed to Ethan Minsker
300 ppi
8.5 " x
11"
Please
remember, because of the vast number of submissions, if your image does not
look good when printed, we do not have the time to ask for a better one. Send
us high quality images!
Opening will
either be May 4th or 11th. Noon to 9 for outside events. Films! Live music!
Spoken word! Fanzines!
