Art Calls Access: An Ordinary Notion
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: April 17, 2024 – With ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion, the Northern California Women’s Caucus for Art (NCWCA) seeks artworks that tell individual stories and advocate for social justice and human rights. We are committed to amplifying various voices and viewpoints as we strive for peace using art as a visual narrative.
ACCESS-An Ordinary Notion will showcase art in all media that speak to and illuminate the ongoing conversation around race, women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive rights, disparities in global wealth, power, access to food, water, shelter, education, health services, disability access, child and elder care, along with immigration issues, climate change, and criminal (in)justice in the modern world. We are open to, and encouraging, a wide range of interpretations.
NCWCA showcases artwork as a conduit in our collective determination for rights that should never be exclusive or for the privileged, but instead are interrelated, interdependent, and indivisible for all. We believe that art can be a powerful vehicle to spark meaningful discussion and ignite inflection points. We also believe in the artist’s voice to foster these important dialogues worldwide. For the ACCESS Exhibition, we invite artists to inspire us to action and to create visions for a new, more inclusive, and just society.
On display Saturday, June 15 -Saturday, July 13, 2024 at Arc Gallery, San Francisco.
