Space: Each participant will have approximately 4 feet of space to display or work.
No Sales on Premises: Selling artwork or items at the event is not permitted. However, artists are encouraged to promote their work.
Artist Requirements
Visual Artists: Must bring their own stands, displays, and tables to exhibit their work. Artists must bring their own artwork for display.
Musicians: Performances should be limited to 10 minutes, including setup time. Artists must bring their own instruments. No instruments will be provided on-site.
Addabbo’s Office
Printed Materials: The senator’s staff will print name tags, artist profiles, art piece descriptions, and a program for the event. To ensure this is accurate, artists are asked to provide the necessary information about their work in advance.
In order to apply to participate in the showcase, call Addabbo’s office at (718) 738-111 to register; and send samples of your work to Raimondo Graziano, Chief of Staff, at rgrazian@nysenate.gov.
“This is not just an opportunity to exhibit your visual artwork or musical talent,” Addabbo said, “but to foster a lasting connection with fellow artists and art lovers in the area.”
The showcase will be held on Sunday, Dec. 15, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Forest Hills Jewish Center, located at 106-06 Queens Blvd., Forest Hills.
