Dear Friends,
� Ready, Set, ART! �
We are thrilled to announce that the Celia Center Arts Festival for National Adoption Month is returning!
� November 13–15, 2026
� Los Angeles, California
Each year, our festival brings together adoptees, foster youth, birth/first parents, adoptive parents, kinship families, and allies to share powerful stories through creative expression. Through art, film, dance, poetry, music, theatre, and spoken word, we create a space where voices are heard, experiences are honored, and healing can begin.
� Submissions Are Open Through September 20, 2026
We can't wait to witness the powerful voices, perspectives, and stories shared through art this year.
Whether you're a professional artist, emerging creator, performer, filmmaker, poet, or storyteller, we invite you to share your creativity and help shine a light on the lived experiences within the foster care and adoption community.
� APPLY TODAY
Together, we can create change.
� Together, we can build a system rooted in healing.
� Together, we create connection, belonging, and hope.
