Participant Opportunities        CALLING ALL NYC ARTISTS! Ages  62+     ART CART: SAVING THE LEGACY is an interdisciplinary arts legacy project that will connect aging professional artists with teams of advanced student fellows to undertake the preparation and documentation of their creative work, to help shape the future of our cultural legacy. From artists who need help organizing their materials, to those who have already documented some of their work, this project seeks to help put your work in order for current and future generations. Artists will receive free use of customized software, teamwork with two fellows from arts, health and aging disciplines, and an honorarium for appearing in a public forum connected to a public exhibition. Professional visual artists will be eligible to apply if they: 1) Are age 62 or older; 2) Reside in the NYC metro area; 3) Have spent a lifetime making work; 4) Have selected a working partner for the project who commits at the time of application. How you can participate: email info.artcart@gmail.com for an application and return by March 15. This third NYC ART CART will take place from September 2015 through May 2016. Once the application is reviewed, you will be contacted for a possible studio visit. That visit will be followed by electronic submission of work which will be juried by arts professionals. A total of 10 artists and 3 alternates will be selected by June 2015.
