*Call for Artwork: BUSHWICK VISUALS by MeKaniKdolls**

BUSHWICK VISUALS - collective video project composed by MeKaniKdolls

On April 25th, Lumenhouse will be hosting a benefit to ensure their continued presence in Bushwick. Lumenhouse has been incredibly generous to Arts in Bushwick, donating their space for many events including AIB benefit for Bushwick Open Studios. Please help us help them.

We would like to compile a collection of digital visuals that will reflect on the creative energy of the Bushwick community, bringing the collective experience together to re-compose a video projection as part of the benefit event paired with the after party. We believe it is crucial in these times of economic hardship to stress the importance of creative community, and to keep alive the artistic support in the spirit of maintaining this important institution — Lumenhouse.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- Submit any digital visual (photography and/or video) that reflects your experience in the community and the neighborhood. The visuals should be in the manner of short snapshots of people, places, events, objects and experiences.

-Along with your submission please include: Name, E-Mail, and How you found out about the project.

-Preferred method of submission is via email attachment at BUSHWICKVISUALS@GMAIL.COM

*For large files up to 2GB, you can upload the file to our Dropbox on YouSendIt at : http://dropbox.yousendit.com/BushwickVisuals4535111

-Video is accepted in the following formats: Quicktime MOV, MP4, or AVI (all compressed)

-The submissions should be: unedited, with no titles or credits, no trailers

**Please keep in mind that these images and videos will be re-composed as part of a new, live video piece, constructed as a dynamic visual as part of the after party DJ set.
