Kansas City Convention Center: Public Art Opportunity

Each year the Lone Tree Arts Commission seeks to beautify the many traffic signal and utility boxes placed within the city through the selection of original designs from area artists. The selected designs will be printed on vinyl and will cover the box. A third-party design fabricator will be used to print the vinyl wraps and will be installed by the same group.

  
Artists are encouraged to steer away from common iconography that is already heavily used in the City of Lone Tree and explore original avenues. View Site Details for current cabinet wraps. Use of bright and vibrant colors are highly encouraged. The design should add to the vibrancy of our cityscape and create a sense of community and connection.

Artwork displayed publicly in Lone Tree. 

$500 will be awarded to each artist/group selected.

**CALLING FOR ARTISTS!** Plica is organising her first Zine & Print market in Ghent on December 14th & 15th. To make sure our first edition is a blast, we’re counting on you! Are you a **zine- or print maker** and do you want to show your work to the Ghent audience? Then get tippy tapping and fill in our application form.

  
We are aware that TUIG is organising the winterTUIG (also a market for zine and illustration makers, but in Antwerp) the same weekend we’re organising Plica. We’ll be working on our application list together with them, so people can participate in both markets (one day in one location and the next in the other location) if they want to.

  
Ok, enough talk, let’s get to know each other!

Plica Zine & Print market takes place on December 14th and 15th at Edward (close to the Vrijdagmarkt). You can apply for either one of these days or for both days. Setting up shop starts on Saturday at 9h and Sunday at 10h. The market is open Saturday from 10h-18h and Sunday from 11h-18h.

  
Not everyone has enough material to fill a whole table, so to encourage starting zine- and printmakers there are a couple of half tables.

The Penland Core Fellowship Program is a two-year work-study fellowship for early career artists looking to expand technical skills and material fluency while working to support the day-to-day operations of a craft school. Artists of all backgrounds who want to advance their educational goals and explore their capacity to contribute to a thriving creative community are encouraged to apply. The goal of the program is to shape the future of contemporary craft by creating opportunity, connection, and immersive education for early career artists who bring a range of perspectives and goals to the school.

Penland core fellows fully engage with Penland by taking several workshops each year in familiar or new media, and performing integral jobs for the school. Penland’s ever-changing learning environment allows core fellows to study with world-class teaching artists from all over the US and abroad; this is a unique opportunity to create an educational path that responds to individual goals. The program can serve as preparation for careers in creative, non-profit, educational, and entrepreneurial sectors. A measure of the program’s success is the number of core fellows who have gone on to make a life in craft. To date over 200 people have participated in the program, and about 80% are practicing artists or professional contributors to the field of craft today.

The work that core fellows do for the school—jobs such as weekend cook, and entertainment coordinator—places them at the heart of Penland’s daily operations and gives them an opportunity to develop leadership skills and connect with artists from all over by working cooperatively towards a common goal. Core fellows are often a bridge between the staff and the studios and serve a unique role in helping others have a meaningful experience at Penland.

Core fellows live and work together and often learn as much from each other as they do from their instructors and mentors. In the process, they have a chance to form close friendships and often become part of each other’s lifelong creative and professional networks.

  
RESPONSIBILITIES

Core fellows work an average of 20-25 hours/week in various service positions. In addition to fulfilling their work responsibility to the school, they are considered fully participating students and are expected to be engaged, productive members of each class they take. Work responsibilities begin each year in late February and end just before Thanksgiving. There is no regular work obligation from late November until late February, so most core fellows take advantage of this time to dive deeply into studio work.

Penland provides housing throughout the year, tuition for classes, and meals while the school is in session (approximately 8 months of the year). Core fellows receive a stipend of $500 every two weeks. They are responsible for all personal expenses, studio fees, and art materials.

The Laundromat Project invites all NYC-based artists, activists, neighbors, designers, organizers, healers, storytellers, and cultural producers to apply for the **2025 Create Change** program as we explore social practices through a community engagement lens. The program will consist of a series of hybrid (virtual and in-person) convenings to engage The Laundromat Project’s community-based art pedagogy and practices, which center collaborative, cooperative, and co-created art projects. Our convenings are based on our three main learning blocks which lead the focus of each convening and are designed to ground participants in our LP Values.

The Create Change program is shaped around three learning blocks (graduated advancements in the training):

**Make Art**

What role does art, culture, and creativity play in making meaning, shifting narratives, and creating change in our communities? Participants examine a range of artforms across the fields of social practice and creative placemaking that align with The Laundromat Project’s approaches to cultural asset mapping and leadership development.

**Build Community**

How can art and cultural practices build trust and accountability with communities? Participants will explore approaches to fostering attunement with community rhythms, building reciprocal partnerships, and the art of meeting people where they are.

**Create Change**

Understanding the power that exists within ourselves and our communities, how do we creatively leverage power for equity and positive societal change? Participants will explore personal and collective relationships to race, power, and privilege in order to facilitate social transformation through their art and cultural practices. 

  
**FELLOWSHIP OVERVIEW**

**The Create Change Fellowship** program is for artists and cultural producers who are interested in developing and deepening a collaborative, community-based, and socially-engaged creative practice. The Fellowship is philosophically grounded in peer-learning around art making, power analysis, and community building.

The 2025 Create Change Fellowship is a six-month incubator that gives participants the tools to develop, workshop, and generate project ideas incorporating The LP’s values and community-based methodology. The program requires a significant time commitment as Fellows will design community-engaged programs within and around The LP’s storefront in Bed-Stuy. Up to 10 Fellows will be selected to participate in the 2025 program. 

**PROGRAM FORMAT**

The **2025 Fellowship program will run from February 2025 through September 2025**. The program schedule includes the following:

* Orientation and Lab
* Cohort coaching sessions and professional development opportunities based on our learning blocks of making art, building community, and making change
* Opportunity to develop a collaborative public program with community partners
* A culminating final activation and presentation
* Access to office-hours with LP program staff
* Supplemental artist workshops
* Access to alumni community upon completion
