We are excited to announce our eleventh annual national juried art show, Wide Open 11 opening May 9, 2020. This year we are privileged and delighted to have returning to BWAC as a juror one of New York's very knowledgeable curators, Paulina Pobocha, of MoMA. With her guidance and selections, we look forward to another spectacular show.
Ours is a truly unique and generous space - a beautiful
stone Civil War-era warehouse overlooking New York Harbor from the piers of Red Hook, in Brooklyn NY. We welcome the opportunity to exhibit unusually large work, and look forward to exhibiting artwork from all around the country, work in all sizes, and subjects, and media.
The broad theme of Wide Open 11 encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love - wide open spaces ... arms wide open ... eyes wide open - but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite - wide open to attack ... corruption... failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore the idea of "wide open" in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche.
Eligibility:
