National Call For Art: Justice

Deadline for entries: THURSDAY, September 24, 2020. Midnight PST

Find details and prospectus on our website here: https://marinmoca.org/call-for...

THEME

“Liberty and justice for all”. These are the closing words of America’s
Pledge of Allegiance, but we have fallen woefully short of this
promise. Words and actions have failed us, but artists step into this
gap by investigating themes and imagery that inspire the path forward as
well as depicting the errors of the past. As a nation, we must
eliminate racism in all its forms. Art is the universal language and
artists articulate a shared vision for social justice. 2D or 3D artwork
will be accepted in any medium.
