Call for Armory Volunteers

The Hort Family will be opening up their home in Tribeca again this year during Armory Arts Week, providing a rare glimpse into one of New York's most exciting private collections of contemporary art.

 

We are looking for volunteers to help for both the exclusive Friday night (March 6th) preview as well as the Sunday Brunch (March 8th), where the Rema Hort Mann Foundation will also be open to Armory VIP pass holders, accompanied by bagels and coffee at Taymour Grahne Gallery next door.

 

Friday March 6, 2015 from 6.30 - 9.00 pm, call time is 6.00 pm.

Sunday March 8, 2015 from 9.30 - 1.00 pm, call time is 9.15 am. 

 

Volunteers will be asked to perform a number of duties, including greeting guests, managing guest lists, checking coats, monitoring gallery spaces, and ushering guests between upstair and downstairs areas of the Hort's home.

 

Please note, we have a few dedicated coat check positions available that we will be offering as paid. Please let us know if you are interested in one of these positions.

 

This is a wonderful opportunity to view the newly installed Hort Family Collection, representing some of their most recent acquisitions, and all proceeds from the events will go toward supporting the Rema Hort Mann Foundation.

 

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact us at info@rhmfoundation.org. Please specify that you would like to volunteer on Friday, Sunday, or both, and note if you wish to work coat check. Please let us know if you have any friends who would like to volunteer as well!

Applications now open: NewYork City Visual Artists Artadia Awards 2015

Artadia is pleased to announce its inaugural New York Awards. The online application is now open to all visual artists living within the five boroughs, working in any media, and at any stage in their career. The application will close on April 15th, and funds will be distributed to Award recipients in summer 2015. The 2015 New York Awardees will each receive up to $20,000 in unrestricted funds and will gain access to a lifetime of professional support.

Artadia Awardees are selected through a two-tiered jury process that combines local expertise with outside perspective from leading national curators and artists. A preliminary panel will evaluate all submissions and select ten Finalists based on the merit of their work. A second panel of curators will then conduct studio visits in New York with the Finalists, gaining a broader context for the artists’ work. In May 2015, up to five Awardees will be selected and announced from the Finalist pool.

The New York Artadia Awards are open to any artist who has lived within New York City's five boroughs for two or more years, and is not currently enrolled in an art-related degree program. Artadia's application is free of charge and does not require a project outline. We highly encourage artists to apply if they are interested in having their work seen by a panel of prominent curators and artists.
