South Orange Performing Arts Center, the Village of South Orange, Seton Hall University and South Orange Village Community Alliance (SOVCA) are pleased to announce that the application process for visual artists is now open for the second annual Playin’ Around South Orange, a public art project sponsored by PNC Bank that features decorated pianos displayed in various locations throughout the Village from Aug. 23-Oct.4, 2014.
The pianos will be placed in highly trafficked outdoor spaces and will be available for the public to play at their leisure. Professional musicians will be scheduled to play the pianos on various days, encouraging community members to join in the “jam sessions” by playing an instrument or singing.
Local artists, or teams of artists, will paint pianos in or around SOPAC during the month of August. A diversity of styles to inspire the community around the themes of the performing and visual arts is encouraged.
- Artists are asked to submit photos of their work or provide a website where their work can be viewed. An honorarium will be supplied to the artist.
- The project is open to all locally-based artists or design teams, age 18 or over, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, military status, sexual orientation, marital status or the presence of a mental or physical or mental disability.
- More information about the project can be found at www.sopacnow.org/news.
The application process consists of a one-page letter of intent describing your design concept and source of inspiration, and what interests you about the Playin’ Around South Orange project, along with multiple images of your body of work or a website to view the work, and an optional full color concept of your design.
