CALLS FOR ART

Pacific Region Call for Art | DEADLINE Feb 28, 2021

With this new year, 2021, we are entering a great time in our lives. We have for the very first time ever a woman of color in the White House as the Vice President of the United States of America. A time to celebrate, a time to imagine and hope for the best of everything for women in this new year. We are hoping for peace, sharing and a vaccine to end to COVID-19 in our nation, and for the world.

• What are your visions of this new year? What are your hopes and dreams for the future? Do you see ideas, progress, and cures to save our lives?
• Do you see the American nation as one nation with equality for all people?
• Do you want to return to how we were, or do you see a new world in the year 2021?

We are encouraging you to make a postcard to share with your fellow artists. You will receive artwork from another artist in return. 

Deadline: February 28, 2021 Visit SCWCA here for more information.

If you are a 2021 Member of the Northern, Southern California, or Peninsula Chapter, you are eligible to enter.

The WCA “Featured Artists” will be selected by a young curator who will choose the 12 artists from the WCA Member Gallery. The “Featured Artist” section on WCA’s Homepage includes the artist’s name, three rotating images, and a link to the artist’s website. Each selected artist will also be featured in our newsletter, PULSE.
