Call for Entries: "Revealing Culture" Exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in 2010 Seeking Applications from International Artists with Disabilities

Deadline: April 30, 2009 (midnight, MST)

 VSA arts is seeking artists with disabilities for display at the Smithsonian Institution's International Gallery in the S. Dillon Ripley Center in Washington, D.C., from June through September 2010. Artists are asked to consider the theme "Revealing Culture" as it relates to their work. Accepted mediums include two- and three-dimensional art, craft, digital art, installation, and time-based media. Work that is not selected for this exhibition will be considered for alternative spaces throughout Washington, D.C., during the 2010 VSA arts International Festival.

Disability is a requirement for eligibility, but is not disclosed during the jury process. Artists will be selected based on the aesthetic merit of their work.

VSA arts' International Festival is the largest arts and disability event in the world attracting thousands of participants. The festival will take place in Washington, D.C., June 6-12, 2010. Venues across the city will play host to artists from all media-visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, and media arts. This signature event features the achievements of people with disabilities, as well as the diversity of the arts and cultures of the participants.

A panel of distinguished practicing artists and arts administrators will determine work standards, review submitted materials, and select artists for the exhibition. The jury will be looking for the development of original ideas in the work submitted.

All materials must be submitted to CaFE prior to midnight (U.S. MST) deadline of April 30, 2009.
