What if I plan to submit a paper application or physical work?
Please contact the museum to schedule a time to drop-off these materials. If arranged before the submission deadline, there will be a grace period for accepting materials.
I have more than one body of work. How do I submit this?
Each person is limited 10 images per submission but can submit multiple applications. Please be sure to address each body of work in your artist statement.
How many images can I submit?
You can submit ten in each project. These may be single images or a series.
Do I have to be a Staten Islander to qualify? Does the work have to be taken on Staten Island?
No, we are looking for work made about Staten Island if you are not a resident. This is a pretty loose interpretation. Any themes relating to contemporary happenings on the Island will qualify.
I live or work on Staten Island — can I submit work on *anything?
Yes, you are looking at the world through the lens of a Staten Islander. This means your work qualifies.
How many images should I submit?
You should submit what you consider to be your best work. 10 max (for each project).
What is an artist statement?
An artist statement addresses the work that you are submitting. It should address the “how,” “what,” and “why” of your work. Use clear, concise and simple language.
What is an artist’s biography?
An artist biography tells about us you as a photographer. Please be sure to list any formal or informal training, degrees, awards, and exhibition history.
How do I contact you?
Contact the museum at info@aliceausten.org or at 718-816-4506 if you have any questions about the application process.
