Call for Entries

Announcing the BRIDGEPORT WPA Call for Entries!
Deadline : February 28, 2009.

We’d like you to join the Bridgeport WPA.
Here’s what we are looking for ::

Project 1, Federal Art Project
We are looking for fresh, insightful works that speak to the citizens of Bridgeport. Works may be visual in form, but are not limited. We are inspired by the 1933 WPA’s Federal Art Project and are looking for works that use this platform to create, motivate, document, chronicle, campaign and archive the current social and economic climate.
Send us your visual and written proposals.

Public Mural Project
We are challenging artists to think publicly, not privately, and engage in an open conversation with the people. We are looking for individuals or groups to join and create a series of public murals in the Bridgeport Community. We want to emphasize the relationship between the people and the community and between the artist and the people. Submit your ideas for visual style and subject matter.
Look for further details... location of the spaces, sizing... to be posted soon

WPA Photographer
We are looking to enlist one photographer to help us document the workings of the Bridgeport WPA during Version>09. Duties would include chronicling the progress of WPA projects, documenting people and places in Bridgeport and WPA workers in the community. Please send us your credentials and samples of photo work.

We will work to help find ways to supply printing, paint etc if needed.

Submit all proposals to : bportwpa@gmail.com
