Rhythmix Cultural Works is seeking artists in disciplines of visual arts, creative movement, music, spoken word, etc., whose work has an environmental focus to create and oversee an interactive workshop to increase awareness about climate change.
Workshops will host approximately 20 to 25 seniors, families with children, or formerly unhoused residents at one of three Alameda Housing Authority (AHA) locations. In order to better serve the diverse communities at these sites, artists with fluency in a language other than English (Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Spanish or Arabic preferred) are encouraged to apply, but it is not required. A $500 stipend will be provided per workshop (stipend amount is inclusive of materials fees).
The Rising Seas Climate Arts Workshops will be scheduled between April and May 2025 (exact dates to be determined) and will lead up to three Rising Seas live performance events on May 31, June 21, and July 12. Artists will also be asked to provide creative hands-on activities for at least one of these live events.
Selected artists may be invited to exhibit their work in RCW’s K Gallery from June to August with opening and closing dates to be determined.
- Deadline: Applications due Friday, February 28, by 5 p.m.
- Apply online via the Call for Artists Submission form.
