Call for Proposals:

For the ninth consecutive year, the developers of Queens Crossing Mall (F&T Group) and Crossing Art Projects are seeking submissions for our holiday public art installation. This annual sculpture commission, on display from December 8, 2016 to January 27, 2017, will seek to invoke the spirit of the holidays and be realized on the plaza outside Queen Crossing Mall. Every year, this project enables Crossing Art Projects and F&T Group to continue our shared vision to showcase the work of talented artists and provide them with a broader platform for exposure. We are searching for an artist that shows commitment to his or her craft and are open to submissions from artists at any stage of their career, working in a variety of media, including painting, photography, performance, installation, video and sculpture.

Theme:

Artists are invited to submit work that addresses the theme of the holidays here at home in New York as well as globally. More specifically, artists will explore the wellspring of meanings and affiliations behind what it means to “be in the spirit” and showcase artwork that has the power to transport onlookers to a place beyond the usual holiday themes of gift giving and time with family, to convey a more expansive, thoughtful interpretation.
