Send an email to gingers@artconnectsnewyork.org (or via U.S.P.S.) including:

• jpeg(s) of the piece(s) you wish to donate
• Identify each piece being donated with:  Name, Media, size, date and file name
• Your contact information:  name, address and phone number
• Your CV
  

When ACNY receives your e-mail,   we’ll let you know you've been added to our database. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL ARTWORK!  The work you identify for donation stays in your possession until it is placed in a recipient agency; the images will be available for review by placement curators. 

If you should sell a piece you've placed in the ACNY database, let us know, and we'll remove it.

Curators are the active link between donating artists, recipient agencies, their clients and staff and ACNY.  It's your vision that enhances the public areas of recipient agencies.  You'll be "giving back" to your city and at the same time enhancing your resume.

How to Curate an ACNY Placement

Send an email to acny@ArtConnectsNewYork.org
including your resume and a statement about your curating interests.  We'll add you to our list of interested curators and contact you when we have a pending placement appropriate to your skill level and interests.

As independent curator Krista Saunders observed:  As an independent curator who strives to engage viewers both in and outside the art world. . . I'm thrilled this placement is a permanent installation and will be enjyed for years to come!

Because art inspires, heals, transforms, and delights viewers:  you, your clients, your staff, your visitors, and your funders.

ACNY works with all types of social service agencies in all of the city's five boroughs and we're always looking for new placements.

To Apply 
Fill out an application form--below--and send or e-mail it to gingers@artconnectsnewyork.org.
We'll contact you to set up a meeting and see when we can get the process started.  And please note:  
ACNY Placements are FREE!
There is no cost to recipient agencies for the artwork, framing, installation or management of the project. ACNY asks only that
recipient agencies host an opening reception to bring the curator, artists, clients, staff and other interested parties together!

Frank Badillo, Program Director at the Vida Guidance Center noted:  The artwork makes such a difference!  It’s very soothing to our clients—and it makes the Center look so much better!  Our clients are really pleased to know there are people out there who really care about them—enough to give their work to them.

On a day-to-day basis, ACNY needs help making placements and Spattered Columns exhibitions happen quickly and smoothly. Ways volunteers can help:

• Moving artwork
• Installing artwork--in agencies or at Spattered Columns
• Database entry--helping keep ACNY's artwork/artist/agency/ curator database up to date
• Website maintenance
• Security at Spattered Columns events
• And, of course, MORE!
  

Tell us who you are, the kinds of volunteering that interests you, the time you have available, and attach a resume. We'll be in touch with you!

Volunteer Julia D. bubbled: I can't remember when volunteering has been so immediately rewarding.  It was a triple hit:  good art to look at while you're working, great people to work with and, best of all, an immediate, positive response.  It just doesn't get better than that!
