Compete Art for Social Change: Stop Motion
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: September 15, 2024 – Cartooning and animation are powerful modes for speaking truth to power, when protest is captioned in a word bubble and dry humor delivers the punch.

Taylor, this juried national exhibition comes at a fraught time, an election year, and invites artists working in all forms of cartooning and animation to submit works that speak to this moment in human history.
On display Friday, October 18 – November 15, 2024.
