The Shed announced the 17 New York City–based artists and collectives selected for its fourth Open Call, a dynamic commissioning program championing early-career artists across the visual and performing arts. These emerging talents, all living or working within the five boroughs, will create and present innovative new works, offering powerful reflections on the urgent issues of our time through the intersection of personal identity and historical narratives.
Twelve visual and performance artists/collectives including Zain Alam, AYDO, Mel Corchado, Marwa Eltahir, Patricia Encarnación, Laurena Finéus, Lily Honglei, Tyson Houseman, Jarrett Key, Chelsea Odufu, Victor "MARKA27" Quiñonez, and Yelaine Rodriguez and Luis Vasquez La Roche will unveil their work in a free exhibition in summer 2025 in The Shed’s Level 2 Gallery and outdoor Plaza.
