Announcing Le Petit Versailles
CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010
Submission Postmark Deadline is January 1, 2010.

LPV was created in 1996 by Allied Productions and other neighborhood members
as a GreenThumb public garden located at 346 East Houston St. @ Avenue C in
the East Village. It is volunteer based and is dedicated to preserving the
vitality of NYC greenspace through the arts, broadening & enriching the
general public with performances, screenings, workshops and similar
activities that reflect our urban environment.

We present 6 months of public events May- November with music & film
series, visual art exhibitions and workshops. We are looking for unusual
ideas that address the environment, social and progressive issues and the
site specific nature of the garden itself. Temporary installations,
performances, films, workshops in any discipline are desired. Exhibitions
must include works that can withstand the rigors of nature.

We are also on the list of available sites for the community service
proponent of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Program. Target
audiences and communities include queer, people of color, gardeners,
neighborhood residents, artists and activists from around the world.
