SUMMARY:OPEN CALL: Sustenance & Survival
DESCRIPTION:\nIn its basic form, the word sustenance represents the act of providing nourishment or the process of sustaining life. While connected to survival – continuing to exist despite something – sustenance is more often about thriving or flourishing. We invite artists to submit works that consider both concepts — sustenance and survival – in their literal or symbolic forms. We are seeking artwork that examines the ways we are sustained—through food, shelter, support systems, relationships, resources, meaning, inspiration, purpose, or motivation—and/or how we survive in the face of personal, social, political, and ecological challenges. \n\n\n\nTimeline:September 17, 2025  (11:59pm) – open call deadlineSeptember 23, 2025  – notification of accepted worksSeptember 24 – October 4, 2025   – work drop off datesOctober 16, 2025 – opening reception 6-8pm (TBC)January 8, 2026 – closing date \n\n\n\nSUBMISSION FORM BELOW ( #submission-form )\n\n\n\nEligibility: Open to artists working or residing in Inwood, Washington Heights or West Harlem. \n\n\n\nEach artist can submit up to 3 works.
