The Arts Council at Freeport is embarking on a funded mural arts project. Initial funding (for the artist fee and materials) is provided by the AARP Community Challenge grant.  Additional funding will be used for other expenses (site preparation, equipment, site safety, etc.) We’re requesting that interested muralists contact us through our email to learn more about the project and how to submit your portfolio and mural idea for consideration. (In the email subject line type: “Mural Project”). Submissions must be received by July 31, 2018 (EXTENDED TO AUGUST 20TH). The mural should reflect the artist’s interpretation of Freeport’s history (http://freeporthistorymuseum.org), geography and community, as well as the site location. So many of Freeport's current murals are realistic depictions of boats, waves, docks, etc. We're hoping this mural to be more fun, whimsical, interpretive, a bit abstract.

Mural wall is part of the Freeport Memorial Library, 144 West Merrick Rd., Freeport NY  11520

Brick wall dimensions: 53 feet long; 20 feet high; panel design in wall is 171 inches wide by 80 inches high

There are three panels; same size and brick pattern.

(Your choice to just paint the panels, or the entire wall, or any combination)

Wall will be power washed.

Will have powerlift (cherrypicker).

Project budget is between $4,000 and $9,000

Commencement Date: after Labor Day

Completion Date: November 5th

Front entrance to library from Merrick Rd. with mural wall on left.

Close up perspective of the wall (sign can be removed).

View of wall from across the front lawn. Library entrance is on the right.

Close ups of brick pattern in wall 'panel'. All three panels are identical.

 Send your submissions as attachments by email to infoLIACF@gmail.com or use a cloud-based file system (i.e., dropbox, etc.). In the subject line, type "Mural Project").

Please provide at least 3 and no more than 7 work samples of previous mural projects.

A concept drawing and dimensions for the proposed mural design for this specific location.  (Once selected, you may submit a more detailed drawing/design.)

Your submission will be evaluated based

on the following criteria:

Professional qualifications, documented capability and experience to complete the project successfully in the required timeframe.

Artistic excellence, innovation, originality, and/or perspective

Level of relevance to theme as stated above.

Artwork submitted is Artist’s original, creative work - Proposals which contain imagery that is copyrighted by a different entity, stolen or copied from any other source will not be considered. Historic images/imagery may be incorporated if public domain or with permission for use.

Application is submitted by the published deadline.

Proposed budget for your services. This budget is expected to be complete.  Please be sure to include information about the number of people that will be working on the mural (e.g. just you, or a chosen crew, paints, supplies).

Submissions must be identified with an alias – this will be a blind judging system.  Include a separate document that has your alias and your true name and contact information.

Submit any questions, clarifications, etc. to the same email address.

This mural project must be completed by November of this year.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

This performance "I loved you as Joel Grey in Cabaret!"

That's what I've heard said countless times over the last ten years in reference to my performance as the master of ceremonies in Cabaret, presented by Hofstra Entertainment (formerly Hofstra USA Productions). I also co-produced that show in the summer of 1998, while coincidentally, the revival starring Alan Cumming was playing in New York City. I had previously played the role of the 'emcee' in high school and at another theater on Long Island as well. I have dabbled a bit with George M. (Cohan), a role that Grey created on Broadway, and have also played the role of John Adams in the musical 1776, twice, a role that Joel Grey portrayed to great critical acclaim regionally. Additionally, during my early career training at the Hannah Kroner School of Dance, I recall dancing to the overture of The Grand Tour, a show that Joel Grey also starred in on Broadway.

In 2001, I premiered my critically acclaimed one man musical tribute, Courting the Jester: A Salute to Danny Kaye, at Hofstra University, which was then re-worked and presented as part of a larger event at Lincoln Center. Over the last decade I have toured the show throughout the Long Island area with great pride and enthusiasm. Imagine my delight when I started to do some online research for my new show, Shades of Grey: A Musical Tribute to Joel Grey, and I discovered a classic television clip of another one of my favorites, Eddie Cantor, introducing Joel Grey in 1954, as “the Danny Kaye of tomorrow." Danny Kaye, Joel Grey and dare I now say myself, have all been referred to as uniquely talented showmen, each in our own generation, each of us our own ‘cast of characters’. Admittedly large shoes to fill, but a challenge that I take seriously and more importantly, one that I accept with humility and honor. For the last several years I had been 'creatively itching and twitching' to create a tribute to Joel Grey. It seemed appropriate to present the show a few years ago to honor Joel Grey on the occasion of his 75th birthday, but alas that year came and went, and still no show. Then I decided to take several cues and officially set a date to create! Those cues included the fact that during 2010-2011, Hofstra University celebrated its 75th anniversary, and for this proud Hofstra alumnus, 2010 marked my 20th anniversary working at Hofstra. Additionally, the Department of Drama and Dance presented Cabaret as part of their fall season in October of 2010. Needless to say, I took my cue, knowing the time was now! I also discovered another somewhat strange parallel. Several years ago I created and performed a one man show exploring the life and work of author and Holocaust survivor, Primo Levi, who mysteriously fell to his death on April 11, (1987). April 11, the birthday of Joel Grey. Let’s just say I was all but pre-destined to perform the works of Joel Grey. There is an emotional connection that cannot be ignored. A witty, versatile song & dance man who endears himself to audiences with his exaggerated physicality, grand gestures and whimsical boyish charm…he knows how to connect with the audience and bring them along on his journey and that is precisely the legacy I hope to leave behind as well. And so... I say... or should I perhaps sing.... ."Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!"... to Shades of Grey!
