Disabled Artists - A Call for Entries:
Young (ages 16-25) artists who have disabilities are invited to submit entries for a nationally touring exhibit that have its debut at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. 15 artists will be selected from the entries -- there are cash awards, plus an Awards Ceremony to be held on Capitol Hill. The contest/exhibition is sponsored by VSA.org (very special artists)and Volkswagen.
The Theme of the Exhibit - Destination Anywhere:
The idea is to create and submit a piece of artwork that expresses a place the viewer of the piece may never go, if not for seeing your work. Realistic renderings, abstracts, feelings, and reflections on how living with disability influence the destination are all fair game for submission.
