Three Open Calls for Public Art at Arts Gowanus!

Arts Gowanus is currently running three separate calls for entry!

New Gowanus Mini Golf Course: Arts Gowanus is partnering with Gowanus Wharf to design their forthcoming rooftop mini golf course! There will be 9 holes in total, and we're looking for a different artist to design an obstacle or a feature for each one of them. Designs should be fun, quirky, and Gowanus-centric! This will be a permanent installation at the mini golf course. If selected for a hole the artist will receive $5000 for fabrication and installation. Submissions are due by April 11, 2025, at 11: 59 PM. Click here for more information and to apply!

Rooted in Pride: To celebrate Pride Month, Arts Gowanus is once again partnering with Brooklyn Pride and The Old Stone House & Washington Park to present an outdoor art exhibit featuring works by Brooklyn-based Queer artists. We are currently accepting submissions for Rooted in Pride. Brooklyn-based Queer artists are invited to submit artwork for consideration for this group exhibition. Artwork included in this exhibition should represent and celebrate what Pride means to the artist and/or Brooklyn's Queer community. Accepted artworks will be printed on vinyl banners and displayed on the fence surrounding The Old Stone House and Washington Park from June 1 – August 31, 2025. Submissions are due April 30th, 2025, at 11:59 PM. Click here for more information and to apply!

Power, Privilege, and Identity: Red Hook Art Project (RHAP) and Arts Gowanus are seeking submissions from community artists for our public art initiative, Power, Privilege, and Identity. This project invites artists to contribute finished works exploring personal and collective interpretations of these themes. Selected artworks will be printed on vinyl and prominently displayed as part of a large-scale outdoor exhibit at Coffey Park, creating a vibrant and thought-provoking showcase for the Red Hook community and beyond. Submissions are due May 1st, 2025, at 11:59 PM. Click here for more information and to apply!
