ARTeriors at The James Artist Application Details
We are currently seeking artists and creatives to create installations for ARTeriors at The James.
The installation will be open to the public from November 10—December 10, 2023.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
ARTeriors is about transformation and transition. Artists transform a disused property in transition into an immersive pop-up art installation inspired by their interaction with each other and the space. The program aims to highlight Atlantic City’s potential for innovation and evolution and to shift attendees’ perceptions of the city.
Participating artists are given a unique opportunity to collaborate, work with new mediums, and create large-scale site-specific installations. Selected artists will be given 2 weeks to create their installations in the exhibit space and are encouraged to leverage found objects, upcycling, and repurposing materials for their projects.
For consideration, applicants must identify their desired installation space from the video/photos below and provide a detailed design proposal that will cover a minimum of 6’ x 6’ or 36 sq. feet.
