VSA now accepting entries for its 2012 visual art programs

 

A National Juried Exhibition for Emerging Artists with Disabilities, ages 16-25
Deadline: July 8, 2012

Sustaining / Creating
asks emerging artists to showcase work that illuminates innovative
viewpoints on sustainability and contemporary creativity. Beyond its
scientific definition, sustainability references notions of
responsibility and stewardship of our natural world in all facets of
human interaction–from the environmental to the cultural. Sustainability
indicates the capacity to endure. Fifteen artists will be selected for
an exhibition at the Smithsonian and will share $60,000 in cash awards.
Entry deadline is July 8. Enter today!

 

 

International Art Program for Children with Disabilities, ages 5-18
Deadline: July 15, 2012

This program presents a unique opportunity for
student-artists with disabilities from around the world to display their
artwork side-by-side in an online exhibition. A selection of artwork
from the online entries will be chosen for a live exhibition at the
United States Department of Education in Washington D.C. Children with
disabilities, ages 5-18, are encouraged to create a self-portrait that
illustrates who they are and who they will be. Self-portraits allow
artistic freedom for children with disabilities to celebrate the unique
qualities they have to share with the world. Entry deadline is July 15,
2012. Enter today!
