6x6x2020 Exhibit at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center

The new C. Stuart and Jane H. Hunt Gallery (opening Spring 2022) is opening its lower level
to five WNY artists, free of rent, to support the creation of their work and career as an artist, in
person and online. This residency will allow artists to enter a collaborative environment in
partnership with the Buffalo Society of Artists (BSA) where they will have the opportunity to
collaborate and exhibit work throughout the duration of their occupancy, and utilize Hunt Gallery
platforms to sell their work.

The Residency will focus on a year-long creative inquiry into the Canal and the logistics of
Canal maintenance and operations: what is required to keep the Canal in a good state of
repair so that it is reliable, safe, and financially sustainable. The Canal Corporation is
frequently asked to both fix the aging Canal infrastructure and extend the length of the Canal
navigation season: two requests that can be at odds with each other. The public is not
exposed to or aware of the nature and scale of the challenge to keep the Canal in shape
operationally. This Residency is for Artists who wish to engage with the Canal and adjacent
Trail, Canals staff, New York’s Canal communities, and visitors. It is an opportunity to reflect
upon the Canal’s physical, environmental and social condition; materiality; and context.

Works that go beyond the literal interpretation of the theme are encouraged. All artistic and photographic mediums considered; no digital reproductions of two dimensional works through midnight on Saturday, January 20. Artists may submit up to 3 pieces for consideration / Notification of acceptance to…
