SUMMARY:Koubek Mural Painting Project Call for Submissions
DESCRIPTION:LINK TO APPLICATION \nPROJECT INFO \nMural Painting Project is a collaborative project between an established local muralist and Visual Art Students from New World School of Arts (NWSA)\, Florida’s premier center of excellence in the visual and performing arts. The nature of public art is often site-specific\, created in response to the place and community in which it resides. To this end\, and through this process\, we explore the collaboration between established and emerging artists\, working side by side to highlight the positive impact public art can have on a community. Additionally\, we contribute to the process of visually injecting the spaces of the Koubek Center with artwork created by local artists. \nThe local Muralist will be selected by the Koubek Center Mural Committee\, a group of Koubek staff\, advisory board members\, and previous mural artists. The artist selected will be paid an honorarium to develop the concept of the Mural with input from NWSA students\, as well as to work alongside the students to create the Mural. The final artwork will be part of an ongoing rotation of works for one or two years\, with additional artworks selected for future installation. \nThe artwork submission portal will remain open throughout the Koubek Center Mural Painting Project timeline for applicants to submit. During the current Call for Submissions the Project Committee reserves the option to make no selections from the submission pool and to then reopen or reissue the Call for Submissions. \nOnce an artist has been selected\, the following process will be followed: \n\nSelected artist will enter into a commissioning agreement with Koubek Center for the development\, installation\, display\, and image/copyright use of artwork in college communications.\nVarious meetings will be held between selected artist and NWSA students to come up with the concept of the mural and a mutually agreed upon schedule of work.\nAn honorarium will be paid to the selected artist for the successful delivery of the artwork.\n\nSELECTION CRITERIA \nThe following criteria will be used by the Koubek Center Mural Painting Project committee when identifying artworks for display: \nArtistic Quality: Does the artist present a complete idea and design? Does it add to the aesthetic quality of the campus? Does the artwork meet public expectations for a professionally operated state institution? \nCreativity: Does the artwork display innovation\, excitement\, and interest? This includes style\, use of materials or format\, and subject matter. Does the artist statement support and expand on these aspects? \nTechnical Expertise: Is the artwork suitable for display at large scale? Does the art meet all application and submission requirements? \nBUDGET \nThe selected artist will be awarded an honorarium of $4000\, paid upon completion of the artwork created in conjunction with NWSA Visual Arts Students. \nPlease note that murals will rotate on a one to two-year basis. These timelines and rotation schedule are subject to change at the discretion of the Koubek Center. \nTIMELINE \nSubmission period: April 8\, 2022 to April 29\, 2022 \nDeadline to submit application: April 29\, 2022 \nArtist notification of selection: May 1\, 2022 \nMural creation: May 16-21\, 2022. \n**All dates are subject to change at the discretion of the Committee and/or weather conditions. \nLINK TO APPLICATION

SUMMARY:Visual Arts Exhibition with New World School of Arts Students
DESCRIPTION:Koubek Center is proud to continue its annual partnership with New World School of the Arts (NWSA) in a collaboration that will transform the Center and its gardens into an outdoor sculptural or performative exhibit developed and curated by New World School of the Arts Visual Arts Students. As the students produce their work\, they will become visual/artist alchemist and create something new by reinterpreting\, reimaging\, or remixing the artwork at the exhibition at the New World\, linking the two exhibitions. By contrasting the two\, one in a white cube and one centered in the site-specific/experimental approach the students will look at the past and the future of artmaking\, the collection and its legacy. The students will be led by NWSA faculty and alumni. \nFREE PARKING
