The Kansas City Streetcar Authority is seeking visual artists to engage the community through an exhibition of public artwork along the KC Streetcar route in Downtown Kansas City. The artwork should respond to one or all of these questions: ● What does Black History Month mean to you? ● What does Women’s History Month mean to you? ● What does Black Women’s History Month mean to you? Through a competitive, open-call process, the KC Streetcar Authority will select local artists to create temporary, twodimensional artwork to be displayed on 3-5 streetcar station stops. This artwork will be viewed by thousands of KC Streetcar riders and downtowners daily. Selected artists will receive an artist stipend of $500, plus project support to bring the artwork to the streetcar route for this outdoor program. Schedule: ● Applications due January 31, 2022 by 11:59pm CST ● Artwork selected February 7, 2022 ● Art files for selected artwork due by February 18 ● Artwork installed by February 28, 2022 ● Artwork displayed through April 2022 Art Space: Selected artwork will be displayed on the KC Streetcar station stops. All station stops in this Call for Art are the same size and dimensions. If accepted, you will be asked to provide a print-ready file at the appropriate dimensions. The area for artwork on KC Streetcar shelters is on the back-panel glass. For anything more than 50% coverage of the back-panel glass, there must be at least 70% opacity in the graphics and material. That opacity can include a combination of opaque and clear vinyl. The printed graphic may take an organic shape, or fit within the standard dimensions.

Women To Watch

Call to Artist

Posted: Dec 22, 2021

The Women to Watch exhibition series is a unique collaboration between the National Museum of Women Artists (NMWA) and its national and international committees. Each exhibition, held every few years, focuses on a specific medium or theme chosen by NMWA’s curators and features underrepresented, self-identifying women artists from each committee’s respective region. (Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art last participated in the series in 2019 with Paper Routes – Women to Watch 2020.) This seventh installment of Women to Watch will feature self-identifying women artists who envision a different world through their creative practice. Given the extraordinary events of 2020 including a global health pandemic, intense calls for social reform, and unprecedented political division, artists conjure and express visions of a new world. Optimistic or discordant, fantastical or believable, artists have always had a hand in visualizing what could be and, in hard times, have often provided hope—or warning. Visualizations of different worlds can be figurative or abstract and just as there is no single vision for the future, there is no particular media associated with the art created to envision it. Works in Women to Watch 2024 may be in any medium including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, print, drawing, photography, film, digital, installation, and sound. In 2022, Kemper Museum’s presentation of Women to Watch–A New World: 2024 will feature local artists, chosen by a public call for entries juried by Director of Curatorial Affairs Erin Dziedzic. Artists accepted to participate in Kemper Museum’s exhibition will have the opportunity to be selected by curators from the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA), Washington, DC, for the national Women to Watch exhibition in 2024 (although this is not guaranteed). Presented in cooperation with the Greater Kansas City Area Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. CALENDAR ENTRY DEADLINE Tuesday, February 2, 2022 NOTIFICATION Tuesday, February 15, 2022 EXHIBITION June 24–October 16, 2022, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO ELIGIBILITY Self-identifying women artists, currently living in Kansas or Missouri, within 150 miles of Kansas City, MO. There is no entry fee. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO APPLY.
