The Brockton Art Windows Project seeks artists to display their work in vacant windows in the Main Street districts in late June through the Fall, partly in conjunction with Fuller Craft exhibition, The Perfect Fit: Shoes Tell Stories. Artists in all craft media are welcome to apply; artists’ installations will be matched with appropriate locations by The Brockton Art Windows Project.
The Brockton Art Windows Project is a design initiative intended to enliven vacant storefronts in the heart of downtown Brockton and promote the city’s arts community. Selected work will hang in the windows of vacant downtown storefronts. This is a juried exhibit. We seek work that can capitalize on the unique spaces of downtown Brockton and is bold and innovative—art that will capture people’s attention while walking downtown and help convey the vibrant artistic energy of the area.
The Brockton Art Windows Project area covers downtown Main Street (near the court house and library). Artist will be asked to “man” their exhibition space during select events in downtown Brockton. Artists will receive a small honorarium for each month they participate in The Brockton Art Windows Project. We encourage new work and site-specific proposals, as well as collaborations between artists.
