#HellaBlack is Back! We are looking for artists who are interested in being featured in #HellaBlack Vol 7. This event will be hosted in the historic Cyclorama at Boston Center for the Arts!
We are looking for artists from the Black, African, African American, Afro Caribbean and Afro Latine diaspora to join us for this edition of #HellaBlack curated by Amanda Shea! The theme for this year is SHIFT. How does your art shift when your external and personal worlds are fracturing? In addition, think about what shift means to you in your artwork.
Singers, rappers, poets, dancers, musicians, and interdisciplinary artists local to Boston or the Boston metro area can apply. Artists should be prepared to present a 10 minute performance-based set and able to attend rehearsals, tech rehearsal, and the show date.
BCA provides stipends for each individual artist and/or group, green room and dressing room space, access to rehearsal space at BCA prior to the show date, basic lighting and sound (in most cases we are not able to accommodate specific lighting requests).
