The Grand Rue Sculptors are a community of artists living in a downtown popular neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. They will host the 2nd Ghetto Biennale which will take place from the end of November until the middle of December 2011. All works must be made and exhibited in Haiti. Artists will be invited to pass one to three weeks in Haiti before presenting their work in the neighbourhood to an audience of local people.

Please check the archive section for the 1st Ghetto Biennale to get a feel of the previous projects.

The deadline for proposal applications is midnight Monday 25th April and the decisions will be made and announced by mid-June.

Applicants for the 2nd Ghetto Biennale 2011 must provide a written synopsis of their project proposal covering methodology, conceptual background and the production and exhibition strategy for the proposed new work on two sides of A4, including illustrations, and a one page CV, all formatted as pdfs.
Proposal longer than two sides of A4 will not be accepted, neither will website links as a proposal component. Work must be created and produced during the three week period in Port au Prince, Haiti.

There is no funding for this event and you will be expected to cover the cost of your flight, accommodation and materials. Advice can be given about the practicalities for the production of specific projects and budgeting for the trip.
