The intersection of arts and technology needs celebration. (And, btw, it’s big and getting bigger in Baltimore.)
To help, we at Technical.ly are pleased to announce a unique opportunity for Baltimore city artists to prepare a project proposal to be produced for and exhibited during Baltimore Innovation Week, occurring Sept. 23 to Oct. 1, 2016.
This is what we’re looking for:
Technical.ly is seeking a proposal for content that can be projected inside the MICA Brown Center or other interactive art installations that would serve as a creative attraction at the Baltimore Innovation Awards ceremony on the evening of Oct. 1.
The selected two or three artists will receive a budget (paid in full and in advance) of $500 to produce the work, and will able to keep their work. All technical production needs to be provided and managed by the winners and be coordinated with the Technical.ly events team in accordance with our timeline outlined below.
Here’s how to submit a proposal:
This application is open to Baltimore-based artists working in new media. Artists should have demonstrable projection or creative art installation experience and be able to submit samples of their past work. Applicants can submit an application online. The application deadline is Sept. 2, 2016.
