Announcing Le Petit Versailles

CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010

Submission Postmark Deadline is January 1, 2010.

Le Petit Versailles 2010 Season - Call for Proposals.

LPV was created in 1996 by Allied Productions and other neighborhood members as a GreenThumb public garden located at 346 East Houston St. @ Avenue C in the East Village. It is volunteer based and is dedicated to preserving the vitality of NYC greenspace through the arts, broadening & enriching the general public with performances, screenings, workshops and similar activities.

We present 6 months of public events May- November with music & film series, visual art exhibitions and workshops. We are looking for unusual ideas that address the environment, social and progressive issues and the site specific nature of the garden itself. Temporary installations, performances, films, workshops in any discipline are desired. Exhibitions must include works that can withstand the rigors of nature.

We are also on the list of available sites for the community service proponent of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Program. Target audiences and communities include queer, people of color, gardeners, local neighborhood residents, artists and activists from around the world.
