After two years of soldout shows which the Downtown Express called "authentic, funny — and yes, subversive…" the Museum is seeking submissions by upandcoming local Jewish artists for possible inclusion in this year's event. The winners will be showcased in a dynamic evening of cuttingedge comedy, music, storytelling, and film at the Third Annual New York's Best Emerging Jewish Artists at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust on Wednesday, July 16 at 7:30 p.m.
The show will take place in Edmond J. Safra Hall, the Museum's 375seattheater, which features stateoftheart light and sound systems, and a Fazioli grand piano. Filmmakers, musicians, singers, comedians, poets, spoken word artists, and dancers are invited to send performance samples by May 1 to Stacy Pinero at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, 36 Battery Place, NY, NY 10280. Inquiries may be sent to SPinero@mjhnyc.org with Emerging Artist in the subject line.
To be eligible, performers must: be at least 18 years old by May 1; submit materials informed by Jewish themes or identity; and be based in the New York tristate area. Finalists may be required to audition at the Museum for the judging committee.
Submit a maximum of two, five to ten minute samples in DVD, CD, or videotape format – cued to play or including a cue time – that best represents the work that would be performed if selected. Do not submit originals; materials will not be returned. Samples must be labeled individually with the applicant's name, address, phone number, email address, and title. Include a brief description of the work. If possible, also enclose artist bios and/or photos. Please include a selfaddressed stamped envelope. Submissions must be postmarked or received no later than 5 p.m. on May 1. -- www.mjhnyc.org
