EWR Newark Liberty Airport: The Art of NJ 2025

The Art of New Jersey digital exhibition is part of a large-scale public art project at Newark Liberty Airport's Terminal A, focused on creating a transformative customer experience and highlighting the broad spectrum of talent, opportunity, and cultures that make New Jersey vibrant. The next installment of this annual exhibition will feature artwork displayed in a digital welcome banner spanning the departures area of Terminal A, unveiling in early 2025. Artists' names and artwork information will be included with the display and on a supporting website.

Artists are invited to submit up to two examples of completed 2-D work in digital format. Eligible work includes high-quality digital images of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, or work in native digital format. Moving images, performative work, new designs, tourism-type posters, and draft sketches are not eligible. Work will be evaluated on artistic quality, alignment with curatorial themes (the story of New Jersey and its people; New Jersey as a year-round destination), and appeal to airport passengers. Work that could be interpreted as political, sexual, or violent in nature, or that includes logos or business signage, will not be considered. The Art Advisory Council will select approximately twenty artists. Selected artists will receive a $1,000 stipend for licensing their work for digital display for 13 months and will retain copyright to their work. Upon selection, artists must provide final digital artwork in PNG or JPG format with a height of 1080 pixels.

Eligibility: Artists must be at least 18 years old, current New Jersey residents, and legally able to complete a contract with PANYNJ. Priority is given to artists residing in Newark and/or Elizabeth. Artists selected for the 2023 or 2024 digital exhibitions are not eligible. Applications must be submitted through www.callforentry.org by August 26, 2024. Artist notifications will be provided no later than December 31, 2024.
