Sponsored Realita, featuring innovative
work in all media, is seeking additional artist-participants and installations at the Silk Mill.

The Silk Mill is an evolving community of artists working in a turn of the century industrial complex in Union City, New Jersey, located across from midtown Manhattan. The mill, erected during the industrial expansion of the 1880's, is a complex of buildings with 13-16 foot ceilings and 4 to 8 foot windows oriented around a central courtyard.

Sponsored Realita is an opportunity for short term installations and exhibitions throughout the complex, in spaces ranging from 250 to 5000+ sq. feet, and may involve one or more spaces, corridors, as well as outdoor courtyards or rooftops. Multimedia artists are encouraged, with space allocated for readings, screenings, performances, plays or other multimedia efforts. It is also open to curated shows or other special events. Artists in Graduate Programs are also welcome to participate in these opportunities to show work in the metropolitan area.

Sponsored Realita is a non-commercial venue and charges no fees, rents or commissions. It is created and curated by working artists as an opportunity for works that stretch beyond the increasingly narrow confines of commercially acceptable materials.

About the Mill
The old R.H. Simon Silk Mill was built in stages beginning in the heat of American industrial expansion of the 1880s, and was designed under the most enlightened architectural standards.

Today, the Mill is host to a variety of businesses and artists' studios. There is hardly an artists' building in the area that can lay claim to such outstanding natural light and location as the Mill.

Situated at 39th Street between Bergenline Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard, occupants of the building can avail themselves of the extraordinary level of transit service to Manhattan and to Hoboken and Jersey City. One can travel from the building to midtown Manhattan in as little as 15 minutes.
