Submission Deadline: July 3rd, 2011
Location: Governors Island, New York, NY
Exhibition Dates: September 2nd – 25th 2011
The Governors Island Art Fair is accepting submissions for its 4th annual exhibition in September. Governors Island Art Fair is dedicated to promoting independent artists. Governors Island is only 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn. It is, perhaps, the very last great expanse of undeveloped space for public use in New York City.
The call for submissions is open to all artists with 2D, 3D, video, sound, performance and installation works. Artists must set-up all artworks themselves or make arrangements for installation. To offset administrative costs, there is a $20 charge to apply to the fair. Art handlers are available for a fee. The deadline is July 3rd, 2011. For submissions and guidelines please go to www.4heads.org.
Every Friday, Saturday & Sunday in September, 4heads present The Governors Island Art Fair 11 AM to 6 PM

A selection of galleries are exhibiting in the Fair as well and, this summer for the first time,
