Hey Brooklyn Artists! This is your moment to shine and showcase your incredible talent at the iconic Brooklyn Museum, which is throwing a massive bash to celebrate its 200th anniversary. And guess what? You’re the stars of the show. The museum is rolling out The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition this fall, paying homage to the rich history of creativity and artistic brilliance that defines the borough. This isn’t just any exhibition; it’s a love letter to Brooklyn’s diverse and dynamic art scene, curated by some of our own local legends: Jeffrey Gibson, Vik Muniz, Mickalene Thomas, and Fred Tomaselli.
Why Brooklyn artists, you ask? Because Brooklyn’s heart beats through its art. From Walt Whitman’s early days as the museum’s first librarian to the vibrant streets filled with the energy of new immigrants, Brooklyn has always been about community, knowledge, and the transformative power of art. This exhibition is more than just a show; it continues a legacy that champions local talent and community spirit.
Whether you’re into painting, sculpture, video, performance, or any other medium, this open call is your chance to be part of Brooklyn’s artistic lineage. We want to see your work if you’ve been living or creating in Brooklyn for the past five years. Dive into this unique opportunity to stand alongside your fellow Brooklyn creatives in the Museum’s Great Hall, illuminating our borough’s artistic journey’s past, present, and future. Let’s make history together, Brooklyn style!
