Call to Artists
Color Blind
It isn’t enough to be neutral in the fight against racism. To overcome the cloud of social stereotypes and to get beyond emotional response to someone of another race, we must unify. As a society, we have grown up surrounded by racism, we know the stereotypes, and we share, in part, in the prejudices. How we got to this point may not be our fault, but making things better most certainly is our responsibility. Deadline for entries March 31st.
Nesting and Migration
The Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut has partnered with Aquila’s Nest Vineyards of Newtown to present two outdoor art shows inspired by the world of birds. Artists from Connecticut and New York are asked to submit proposals for exhibits, “Nesting,” which will run from June to September, and “Migration,” running from September to November. Deadline for both exhibitions is April 30th.
