+ New York, I Love You A Retail Art Exhibtion by Yellow Studio at Beehive
Deadline: Sunday, July 29
Yellow Studio invites women and non-binary artists to submit work for New York, I Love You: a love letter to a state that defies a single picture. The New York of city blocks and country roads, of the Hudson at dusk and the Adirondacks at dawn. All of it. This is New York in full: the glitz and the grit, the hustle and the hush, the overlooked and the unforgettable. We want the bodega roses and the wildflowers growing through the guardrail on the Taconic. The street corner that changed everything and the vista that took your breath away. The New York you moved toward and the one you couldn’t leave behind. Original artwork in all media is welcome.
Submissions Open: Wednesday, July 15 Submissions Close: Sunday, July 29 Exhibition Dates: September 4 to November 15 Venue: Beehive at Yellow Studio (curated retail space) 792 Route 35, Cross River, New York 10518
