DUE MARCH 31 for SUMMER 2024 Call to Writers and Artists–I AM: Proud to Be…You and Me
Prospectus PDF - I Am Proud Call to Writers and Artists
“May you live in interesting times” is claimed to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse. And we do live in interesting times–times of great cynicism and anxiety, uncertainty and disappointment. It is in such times that it is important to find ways to preserve, protect, and further the courage, honesty, and integrity that bring us enduring pride.
Looking to moments from history or from the public arena today—moments involving others or ourselves that illustrate the best of humanity—helps us live the values we cherish. Stories can save us.
The “Call”: in poetry, prose, or art—share responses featuring people, events, or inspirations– from history or today’s news—deeply personal or widely known–that showcase moments of pride and how they have affected you.
Submissions—poetry, prose, or art–accepted by March 31, 2024. Please send a Word docx and/or a jpg 1 MB, @ 300 dpi to janeEstahl@comcast.net. There is no submission charge. Include a 2-3 sentence bio along with your submission. Bios may be edited.
Submissions will be shared on the digital news site The Boyertown Area Expression (boyertownareaexpression.town.news) throughout the summer of 2024 and at the opening of a fine art exhibit scheduled for June 28, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. at Studio B Art Gallery, 39A E Philadelphia Avenue, Boyertown, PA.
Additionally, the gallery will host an exhibition of artwork evoking the “I AM: Proud to Be… You and Me theme. Please visit the Call to Artist page for both Prospectuses.
