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 a Call for Artists for its upcoming 2021-22 season. Healing Hands is seeking musicians, theater artists, dancers, filmmakers, and other performing artists to present new works-in-progress based on how the arts are contributing to healing in these challenging times. Healing can be from the perspective of individuals, groups, communities, or global impact. Recognizing artists’ unique ability to help us interpret the world around us, we encourage a wide range of perspectives including COVID-19 impact on the arts or our economy, contemporary struggles for social and racial justice, and the polarized political climate.

This will be part of a two-day program Healing Hands on Saturday, February 19 and Sunday, February 20, 2022 in the Sharp Theater of the Berrie Center. Following each performance, there will be a discussion of how artists create new work drawing on world events around them. Healing Hands will engage up to four projects.

There are no entry fees, but to be considered, artists must complete a full application including samples of their work. Artists will be compensated $ 800 for a 25-30-minute presentation and participation in a post-performance discussion.

For more information and to access an application, go to:  www.ramapo.edu/berriecenter

The deadline to apply is Thursday, July 29, 2021 at 4 p.m.
