MAHWAH, N.J. – The Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts on the Ramapo College of New Jersey campus is pleased to announce its annual Call for Artists for the upcoming 2022-23 season. With a theme of Rediscovering Community, the Berrie Center seeks musicians, theater artists, dancers, filmmakers and other performing artists to present new works-in-progress on Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 8 p.m. in the Sharp Theater on the College campus. Following the performances, there will be a discussion of how artists create new work drawing on world events around them. Rediscovering Community will engage up to three projects.

Lisa Campbell, Berrie Center director, describes this year’s theme, stating “As we continue to emerge from COVID-19 we recognize its impact on our view of community, from forcing us to live in virtual environments and meet in limited capacities to questioning how we see each other and what we value. Recognizing artists’ unique ability to help us interpret the world around us, we encourage work that speaks to the positive force that comes from uniting various communities’ uniquely different voices, visions, practices, and missions.”

There are no entry fees, but to be considered artists must complete a full application, including submitting samples of their work. Artists will be compensated $900 for a 25-30-minute presentation and participation in a post-performance discussion.

The deadline to apply is Thursday, July 28.
