Beyond the Bar
Artist challenge to create works from repurposed law books!
Calling all artists for an exciting opportunity! We invite you to select from a curated collection of law books and transform them into captivating works of art. Whether you’re envisioning altered books, stunning sculptures, intricate collages, imaginative assemblages, or even wearable works, the chosen book(s) should serve as the cornerstone of your creation.
Each artist may submit up to two entries for consideration. A distinguished panel from the Patchogue Arts Council curatorial team and Egan & Golden, LLP will select three final outstanding works.
Each chosen artist/ artist group will receive a generous stipend of $600.
But that’s not all! The selected artworks will join the prestigious permanent collection of Egan & Golden, LLP, enriching three distinct locations with your visionary contributions, including the Suffolk County Bar Association.
Don’t miss this chance to make your mark in the intersection of law and art. Submit your entries today and bring these legal tomes to life like never before!
