NEW: RISCA Wants Local Artists For Airport Exhibits
Thursday, August 29, 2013
Designated exhibit spaces at Block Island's airport, shown here, as well as TF Green, are ready for more works by local artists.
Newly created gallery spaces at the Block Island Airport and T.F. Green Airport are accepting art submissions for their 2014 exhibitions. The gallery program, which includes Block Island Airport Gallery and GREEN SPACE, is a partnership between RISCA and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation that promotes work by artists living and working in Rhode Island. The spaces will present art to an ever-changing audience of local, national and international travelers.
What they're looking for
Work in all media will be considered. Block Island Airport Gallery includes opportunities for exhibiting indoors and outdoors. GREEN SPACE includes several large walls and open spaces that are particularly well suited to large scale works.

Please note that larger work is better suited to GREEN SPACE while smaller scale pieces are best for The Block Island Airport Gallery.
The selection process
Artists will be selected for the 2014 exhibitions by a review panel that will include practicing artists, arts professionals and community members. Artists included in the 2014 exhibitions will receive a $100 stipend for participating in the program.
