Open call!
ArtBridge, which has been selected by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs to implement the City Canvas pilot program, is collaborating with the Battery Park City Authority to turn 900 feet of construction shed into a two-dimensional public artwork. The artwork will be placed along Battery Place in front of Wagner Park and historic Battery Park as BPCA implements the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project, one of three resiliency projects to protect Battery Park City and the Lower Manhattan coast from the threats of storm surge and sea level rise. The submitted artwork will consist of a digital file, deriving from any artistic medium, that will be printed onto a vinyl material.
Building upon BPCA’s commitment to environmental resiliency and creating spaces for the public – including expansive lawns and gardens – ArtBridge is seeking proposals that call in ideas of environmental care for the betterment of communities.
