Artist Opportunities

Queens in Flight Local Art Program at JFK Terminal 6

The Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL), on behalf of JFK Millennium Partners (JMP), invites local Queens-based artists to submit proposals for the Queens in Flight Local Art Program at JFK Terminal 6 who meet one of the following criteria:

         a. Queens residents for at least twelve months, or; 

         b. Artists who make art at the time of their submission out of a Queens-based studio or location, or;

         c. Artists who can demonstrate a strong personal or professional relationship to the borough. 

This program will showcase the cultural and artistic diversity of Queens through contemporary art installed in high-traffic areas of this new and expanded airport terminal. Artists selected will license their artwork and have the opportunity to display it before millions of global passengers, to provide signage and information on their work, portfolio, and art practice (e.g. QR codes), and to sell the displayed artwork if they choose. Artwork will be on display for 12 months, after which a new cohort of local artists will be selected to display their artwork.
