Lolk Collective: Call for Artists

Lolk Collective: Call for Artists

Lolk Collective exists to facilitate art that combines the for-the-people nature of folk art with the creative freedom and versatility of contemporary art.

We are looking for artists, musicians, and all types of creatives interesting in making work which fits the aims of our project:

o    Work that focuses on a shared aspect of a specific community (a town or neighborhood’s history, traditions, physical characteristics, recent events, etc.)

o    Work that is public and accessible

o    Work that helps bolster a sense of identity among a specific community

In our aim for public, accessible projects, we encourage projects of a guerilla/street art nature and will assist artists as needed with idea development and physical implementation.

Selected artists will be interviewed and their interviews and projects will be featured on the collective website.

For a few examples of the kind of projects we are interested in, see the links below:
