Deadline: June 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. — PLEASE NOTE: you MUST submit entries through Smarter Entry for this exhibition. There is a three image limit. Exhibition SPACE IS LIMITED (It’s the same space where there was a show in December), but every effort will be made to include at least one artwork from each member submitting. This is not a jurying, but the reality of working in a smaller space. THERE IS NO CHARGE TO SUBMIT. Curators for this exhibition are Alicia Degener and Janet Morgan.

Between Two Waterfronts: A Brooklyn Landscape invites artists to consider the Brooklyn waterfront as both a lived environment and a symbolic space, where land meets water, industry meets community, and histories of labor, migration, and culture are shaped by ongoing urban change.

The waterfront reflects the broader Brooklyn landscape. It is shaped by industry, development, climate pressure, and displacement, but also by resilience, adaptation, and everyday life. It is a place of contrast, industrial and residential, built and changing, visible and overlooked.

Artists are invited to respond to these evolving shorelines and what they reveal about Brooklyn’s neighborhoods, infrastructure, and communities. Work may include any medium and approach, including representation, abstraction, narrative, or experimental practices.

Curatorial Note:

The “two waterfronts” may be understood both literally and metaphorically: the shifting shoreline between Red Hook and Sunset Park (site of this exhibition), and the layered emotional, historical, and cultural landscapes that exist alongside it.
