Green Light Call for entries
Green Light is a national juried exhibition for young artists with disabilities,
ages 16 – 25. The jury is interested in both representational and abstract work. Artwork may illustrate actual aspects of what signals your creative motivations such as the physical world or personal discoveries. Abstract work that relates to feelings or emotions is also encouraged. Work might also reflect your experience of living with a disability and its role in shaping or transforming your work.
Selected artwork will be part of an exhibition at the S. Dillon Ripley Center of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. from September 17, 2008 – January 4, 2009. The exhibition will then tour throughout the United States for approximately two years. At the end of this two-year period, artwork that is not purchased will be returned to the artists.
The top three finalists will be honored at the opening reception on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. during the Fall of 2008.
