The Alchemical Nursery Project, with funding from CNY Arts and TNT Westside, is seeking local artists to design one of 10 Garden Art Signs to be displayed as public art, and to help identify the plants for the users, at the 610 Gifford St Community Garden.  Each artist will be provided a stipend of $100 for the production of one plant Garden Art Sign of 12″H x 18″W dimensions.  Any media may be used as part of your original work, original art remains the property of the artist, and Alchemical Nursery retains rights to reproduce via photography and printing of each design for all fund raising and educational purposes to support our neighborhood organizing, greenspace stewardship, and mutual aid work.  The Art Signs for garden display will be printed on Aluminum Sandwich Board for long-term durability.

To apply, complete the form linked here, including submission of 2 examples of your work.  A panel of volunteers from the garden will select the awardees based on local location awareness, description of your artwork style, submitted artwork samples, and consideration of your stated interest in this project.

Future considerations of Alchemical’s use of the Garden Art Sign designs include selling prints of the designs in which we will share profits with the artists.

Thanks for your interest!  Contact us at info@alchemicalnursery.org with questions.
