The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art invites artists to submit proposals for its annual exhibition of work by regional artists. This year’s exhibition—Hudson Valley Artists 2010: Contemporary Art and Praxis—will be curated by Thomas Collins, Director of the Neuberger Museum at SUNY Purchase. Collins will select work from approximately 20 artists and artist teams from the Hudson Valley for an exhibition that will be on view at the Dorsky Museum from June 26-November 14, 2010. Artists are invited to submit slides of existing work or to propose new works or site-specific installations. The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 19, 2010. Hudson Valley Artists 2010: Contemporary Art and Praxis will present the work of artists living and working in the Hudson River Valley who are engaged with innovative approaches to art making that demonstrate how creative practice can operate in service of theory to effect changes in the real world. (See Exhibition Description below.) New this year to the Dorsky Museum’s Hudson Valley Artists exhibition series is an expansion of the residency requirement to include artists from Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester Counties. The submission package must include image captions, an artist’s biography/CV, contact information, and SASE for return of materials. It may not be possible to review incomplete submissions. All materials will be returned. Please send submissions to: Attn: HVA 2010 Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art SUNY New Paltz 1 Hawk Drive New Paltz, NY 12561 Artists participating in the exhibition will be responsible for the delivery of selected works to the museum; works must be ready to install upon delivery.
