For Toys and Games with a Twist, Longwood is partnering with Curate NYC, a juried exhibition and online marketplace that exists to heighten exposure and opportunities for New York City visual artists. The project also helps promote New York City’s image as a vital cultural hub. Launched in 2010 by Full Spectrum Experience, Inc. and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, Curate NYC provides a free online platform for curators, collectors, and art lovers everywhere to discover work by hundreds of local artists.
Last year, Curate NYC attracted 1,200 entries in three weeks. The project generated 600,000 website hits in three weeks, and positive news in The Huffington Post, The New York Times, The L Magazine, and on The Brian Lehrer Show. In 2011, one art gallery per borough will curate and exhibit their own shows of actual works by Curate NYC artists. After the call-for-entries, we will open the Curate NYC E-Marketplace, allowing artists to upload more than one entry and to sell the work from their website. |

La Enramá is a multi-media installation of photography, videos, musical instruments, crafts highlighting Afro-Dominican culture along the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. The centerpiece is a recreation of an enrramada, a shelter without walls common in the Dominican countryside that, depending upon the season, serves as a storage shed for seed and farming implements or a venue for community meetings, domino matches, religious observances and, most importantly, for drumming and dancing. Humble in structure, the enrramada is of vast importance, socially and spiritually, to Domincan culture. This exhibition is curated by Marino Corniel & Wallace Edgecombe in collaboration with folklorist Leonardo Iván Dominguez & musician Pedro Raposo. |
