Description

Calling emerging and mid-career Northern California artists! Does your work explore what it means to be connected to the land that holds us and life on this planet—along with the imperative to protect it? If so, the David Brower Center (@browercenter) wants your submissions. Authored by José González, and titled "This Land"—the 2022 Art/Act: Local Call for Art aims to foster meaningful relationships with 4 jury-selected, emerging Northern California artists—with $1000 honoraria, marketing and platform opportunities, and professional assets (photos, video, etc.). 2D/3D wall-mounted work, videos (under 3 min), and performances accepted. Art/Act: Local is produced by the David Brower Center and is located in the heart of downtown Berkeley, California in the city's first platinum LEED-certified building. Our stylish, modern street-level gallery embodies the art of activism, open to the public 5 days a week. We're just one block away from BART, our transit line connecting us directly with San Francisco, Oakland, and farther flung places in the Bay Area. The event has changed this year to include all of Northern California, as well as more diverse audiences and outsider perspectives, as we outreach to underrepresented communities not often seen on gallery walls or platforms. Among soaring concrete columns and spacious walls, hundreds of viewers yearly take in works that inspire and activate more responsible relationships with the outdoors. Our 178-seat theatre is designed to connect artists with much larger audiences both physically and virtually in the safest building in the Bay, with 100% fresh exchange of outdoor air every hour. For nearly a decade, this program has been building meaningful relationships with local emerging and mid-career Bay Area artists. The David Brower Center is unique in that we exhibit environmental art and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable environmental movement. FREE to enter.
