Opportunity Description

U.S. Regional Deadline: February 4, 2024 – The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum announces its third annual Open Call for Artist Banners.

Emerging artists based in New York City and self-identifying as Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) are invited to submit designs for the Museum’s three outdoor banners, in response to the theme love and labor. Three artists (one winner and two runners-up) will be chosen by a jury composed of The Noguchi Museum’s organizing committee (a cross-departmental group of staff volunteers), as well as guest jurors.

The winning artist will have their designs installed on the Museum’s outdoor banners for one year, from May 2024 through May 2025 (corresponding with AAPI Heritage Month), and will receive an honorarium of $3,500. The two runners-up will each receive an honorarium of $2,500. Each of the three artists will have the opportunity to develop and lead a public program at The Noguchi Museum in collaboration with the Museum’s Education department during free admission Community Days in the summer of 2024. The Museum will also produce short interview films with each artist to highlight their work and studio practice.
