Providence —RI State Council on the Arts (RISCA) is accepting applications for artists for 2023 exhibitions at the Block Island Airport Gallery and GREEN SPACE Gallery at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport. The galleries are a partnership with the RI Airport Corporation (RIAC). The deadline to apply is Oct. 10, at 11:59 p.m.
The Call for artists will consider artists who work in all media and applicants must be Rhode Island residents. No students, please.
The GREEN SPACE Gallery includes several large walls and open spaces that are suitable for large-scale works. The gallery selects nine artists to exhibit in three group shows per year. The Block Island Airport Gallery is best suited for smaller scale works and hosts single artist exhibitions, four times per year.
“GREEN SPACE and the Block Island Airport Gallery provide Rhode Island artists the opportunity to share their work with an ever-changing audience of local, national and international travelers,” said Lynne McCormack, Executive Director of RISCA, “RISCA is pleased to continue this important partnership with RIAC, promoting outstanding work by artists living and working in the Ocean State.”
The selection of artists will be by a review panel, which will include practicing artists, arts professionals and community members. Artists included in the 2023 exhibitions will receive a $300 stipend for participating in the program.
Artists who have exhibited previously at one of the galleries are ineligible for new consideration for a period of two years. RISCA encourages artists who have applied in the past and have not been selected to apply again.
