Via our friends at the Brooklyn Arts Council:

 

SUPERFRONT BK is accepting proposals from local non-profits, community groups, arts programs, or other civic-minded groups that could use a semi-outdoor space this summer. The 1,000 sq ft space is located behind a storefront on Atlantic Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn and will be free to the chosen organization.

 

SUPERFRONT will orchestrate the design and construction of this temporary space in the beginning of July for the winning organization’s use, and the space will open to the public from July 9 through August 15, 2010.
 

Deadline for entries: May 8, 2010.  For more information, click here.

Space on White, a new facility in Tribeca, is seeking an innovative, artistic NYC organization to be its resident company.  And they hope to find one through a video contest that they are calling "The Blank Canvas Giveaway"!

 

If you are an artistic, theatre, dance, music or production company looking for a rehearsal and performance "home", develop a short performance skit on video (1-4 minutes), showcasing your organization’s talents and mission while answering Space on White's prompt question: “What could you do with Space on White as your blank canvas?”  More contest details are available here.

 

There will be two winners chosen: 

 

FIRST PLACE (by judges' vote): 80 hours of free space at Space on White, as well as a residency, which includes publicity through Space on White, storage space, and more.

 

SECOND PLACE (determined by highest number of views on the Space on White YouTube channel): 50 hours of free space at Space on White.
