This project is part of the ongoing Co-Lab(oration) project at School 33 Art Center funded by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Grant.
Once artists are selected on December 12, 2014, they must thereafter be available to meet regularly to collaborate, create and implement the new rain garden environment, which will should be installed and fully completed during June, July and August 2014. If you are not available locally during this timeframe, do not submit your portfolio for this application. The finished project will be unveiled in early September 2014.
Co-Lab(oration) is an on-going platform for diverse artists to work collaboratively in a process of creative exploration, resulting in the development of multiple new works. The project should cultivate the production and exhibition of new artwork that integrates the ideas of artists from varied disciplines, encourage artistic experimentation and creative risk-taking to support the development of innovative practices or new artistic forms.
Selections will be made by our panel of jurors:
Linda DePalma, Prolific public artist and educator, working in the areas of large-scale sculpture and mixed-media
Melissa Webb, Exhibitions Manager for School 33 Art Center and Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts
