In partnership with the Brooklyn Arts Council, the Level Hotel Brooklyn welcomes online entry for the [Lobby Art Commission](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6NzA3NjYsImF0IjoyMCwiY20iOjE0MDQ1NSwiY2giOjE5MzAsImNyIjo0MTgzOTYsImRtIjo0LCJmYyI6NTA1MjU3LCJmbCI6MjU5NjY3LCJpcCI6IjU0LjgyLjIzOC4yMzciLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwicHIiOjE2NjYsInJ0IjoxLCJzdCI6MCwidXIiOiJodHRwOi8vYXJ0LmxldmVsaG90ZWwuY29tLyIsInJlIjoxfQ&s=L1fWd-PUZrVaMI1li32NONeCCOg&ref=hyperallergic.com). This is an open call to Brooklyn-based artists to apply for the commission of a large-scale sculptural artwork for the hotel lobby, scheduled to open in Williamsburg in early 2016.

All submissions should be submitted online at [art.levelhotel.com/apply-now](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6NzA3NjYsImF0IjoyMCwiY20iOjE0MDQ1NSwiY2giOjE5MzAsImNyIjo0MTgzOTcsImRtIjo0LCJmYyI6NTA1MjU4LCJmbCI6MjU5NjY3LCJpcCI6IjU0LjgyLjIzOC4yMzciLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwicHIiOjE2NjYsInJ0IjoxLCJzdCI6MCwidXIiOiJodHRwOi8vYXJ0LmxldmVsaG90ZWwuY29tL2FwcGx5LW5vdyIsInJlIjoxfQ&s=Mr1HWCkoEZqARNNRznFo3ITiyrk&ref=hyperallergic.com).

During the initial stages, artists are asked to submit biographical information and images of previous completed projects only — please note that this is not a request for proposals. Entry will be open until September 15, 2014.

A jury of specialists, as well as representatives from the Level Hotel Brooklyn, will determine three finalists from the open call. The jury includes: **James Bartlett**, the Executive Director of the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA); **Deborah Bright**, the Chair of Fine Art at the Pratt Institute; and, **Catherine J. Morris**, the curator at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum.

The three finalists will each be given a budget of $1,000 to complete a detailed project proposal for presentation, including renderings, a budget, and a production timeline for their proposed artwork. From the three finalists’ presentations, the jury will award the commission to one artist. The budget for the final artwork will be $200,000, including artist’s fee and all production costs.

More information about the jurors, artist application process, eligibility, and project scheduling can be found on the Art Commission website, [art.levelhotel.com](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6NzA3NjYsImF0IjoyMCwiY20iOjE0MDQ1NSwiY2giOjE5MzAsImNyIjo0MTgzOTYsImRtIjo0LCJmYyI6NTA1MjU3LCJmbCI6MjU5NjY3LCJpcCI6IjU0LjgyLjIzOC4yMzciLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwicHIiOjE2NjYsInJ0IjoxLCJzdCI6MCwidXIiOiJodHRwOi8vYXJ0LmxldmVsaG90ZWwuY29tLyIsInJlIjoxfQ&s=L1fWd-PUZrVaMI1li32NONeCCOg&ref=hyperallergic.com).
