CALL FOR ARTISTS AT THE POINT: New York Recycling Ventures (NYRV), a subsidiary of Metal Management Inc, has recently moved to Hunts Point and invites artists and arts groups to submit work samples and a concept for a mural. The project will be ultimately comprised of an exterior green wall and multiple mural spaces lining the borders of the new NYRV facility. The design and execution of the wall is a collaboration of Sustainable South Bronx, THE POINT C.D.C. and New York Recycling Ventures. The scope of this project is approximately 6 to 7 panels, each approximately 7’ x 30’, some may be larger. The success of this project could be a catalyst for completing up to 30 panels in future. This partnership is an indicator of the guiding concept for selection: we are seeking proposals that explore the interconnections of industry, community, and environmental concerns, as they are expressed, not only in the final images but in the process as well. For example, projects that have a workshop component engaging students and/or community members are encouraged. On the other hand there is an urgency to get started so fast track proposals by artists or small art teams will also be considered. Given the theme of the project and deadline (at year’s end) artists and art groups from Hunts Point and neighboring communities will have priority. Adam Rosenthal, site manager at NYRV, would like artists to consider a theme of “GREEN” transcending the local urban landscape.

For this seminar, part of the Mayor’s Office Immigrant History Week, a number of Folk Feet dancers and associated scholars discuss and demonstrate the importance of specific configurations and patterns of movement. They serve as the basis for various social and concert dances in Brooklyn’s immigrant and Diaspora communities, including Irish, African American, Sherpa, Greek, Polish, and Georgian. This Folk Feet seminar will engage dancers and audience in lively discussion about the meaning of dance in community life.

Preference is given to projects that assist a community of artists or cultural groups. Seedco, a national community development financial institution, offers a combination of flexible, below market rate financing and technical assistance to for-profit and nonprofit arts organizations through its Arts Lending Program.

MUSIC LIBRARY FOR COMPOSERS: Omnimusic (Port Washington, NY) is a music library that provides music for everything from commercials to modern dance performances, and we are in the process of putting together a new library of avant-garde/experimental music called “Outside the Box.” We can use recordings of compositions to which the composer owns all the rights (including the publishing & the recording) and that are not currently in another music library.  (The only other thing to make sure of is that there are no re-use fees that need to be paid to the musicians on the recordings.) What we would do is re-title any piece we use, and Omnimusic would become the publisher of this newly-titled work. (Tracks are usually about 3-4 minutes long, but we can edit to length anything that’s too long.) It is an exclusive agreement, but only in the sense that it can’t be used in another music library – anything else is fine, so this will not affect any of the composers’ prior or future usage agreements.  Basically the composer is only licensing the music to us for music library use. While we don’t pay up front for pieces, we do split the sync fees (which can range anywhere from $100-$1500) when our clients use the track and, of course, the composer would receive the writer’s royalties from their Performing Rights Organization for anything that’s broadcast. Any questions should be emailed to Dave Hab at Dave@omnimusic.com. Anyone who is interested in submitting music should send available tracks on CD to: Omnimusic, Attn: Dave Hab, 52 Main Street, Port Washington, NY  11050. No works will be used until we’ve signed a composer agreement, so there is no worry about unauthorized usage. (Listed 12/27/07)
