Deadline: May 24, 2012

After an auspicious start with the first MERGE event, FLOOD is launching MERGE II. This event is a continuation of our exercise in communal curation, merging creative individuals with the Arts District's business and residential communities, and with each other. In each MERGE event, business owners and residential organizations will host artists whom they find relevant. These artists will be juxtaposed to and engaging and with artists invited by FLOOD. In what will be an evening highlighting a diversity of interplayful artistic sensibilities, visitors will find themselves within an expressive city space, shifting with fluid aesthetic interactions and energized by creative tension.

As this is an inclusive event, submissions for all genres, both static and non-static media, will be accepted, including:
installation
performance art
happenings
actions
street theater (spontaneous or staged)
dance (ballet, modern, butoh, street, folk etc.)
music (acoustic and electronic)
video, short film
painting, drawing
sculpture
multi-media
inter-media art
Due to the limited number of indoor spaces, both for exhibition and/or performance, all work should be outdoor-ready or outdoor-adaptable.

As a MERGE participant, your name, likeness, as well as work may be used for publicity purposes and materials related to this event, including, but not limited to, press releases, advertising posters, publications, recordings and MERGE related websites.

By submitting your submission electronically over the internet, you authorize the use of your name, likeness and work for the above-mentioned purpose. Please note that all other personal information (address, telephone numbers, etc.) is strictly for internal business.
