Open Call – Women in the Heights: Shade
Curated by Andrea Arroyo
NoMAA Gallery is at 176 St and Broadway, inside the United Palace.
To mark the 17th anniversary of the beloved Women in the Heights exhibition, and in celebration of Women’s History Month (March), we invite artists to submit works that explore the many aspects of the subject of “Shade.”
Shade explores the intersections of light and shadow—literal, social, and emotional. In every culture and community, shade carries layered meanings: it can offer refuge or concealment, protection or defiance, acceptance, or rejection.
Eligibility:Â Open to self-identified women artists working or residing in El Barrio, Inwood, Washington Heights or Harlem. Above 110th Street on the West Side (west of 5th Ave) and above 96th Street on the East Side (east of 5th Ave).
