☎️ Call for Art! ☎️
Midland Area Cultural Awareness Coalition and Public Arts Midland is pleased to announce the return of our Creativity Contest!
Both groups are excited about this collaborative project because art and culture are so closely tied together. We all believe in the therapeutic values of art creation, the intentionality of working within a theme, and the benefits of gathering as a community to cap off the project!
We are seeking art submissions from Midland County citizens for Neighboring Week and Global Diversity Month! All art should be based on the theme of: “Global Diversity: Our differences make us better together.”
➡️Purpose:
The primary goal of this project is to encourage people to think about how our differences make life more interesting, and that we really are better together. We encourage people to think about their own cultural traditions, how they belong in our community, and embracing diversity. Global Diversity month is a celebration and reminder of the positive impact a diverse culture of people can have on society as a whole. We want to amplify that spirit with this contest!
We encourage you to think about diversity with a broad lens, which might include: race, traditions, age, abilities, mental health, physical health, orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.
Everyone is invited to participate in the project: kids, teens, young adults, older adults, artists, non artists! All experience levels are welcome. We can’t wait to see your interpretation of the theme: Our differences make us better together.
➡️Submitted art may be:
- 2D (drawings, painting, paper, mixed media, poetry, a story, etc.)
- 3D (clay, wood, cardboard, metal, mixed media etc.)
- Multimedia (video of a speech, song, digital art, etc.)
- Written (poem, short story, personal narrative, etc.)
- Each piece entered needs to have an accompanying submission form
