Media & What to Submit
2D and 3D work including painting, drawing, sculpture, furniture, printmaking, fiber, glass, photography, video, and installation proposals are encouraged. Work must be original, designed and made by the artist (no kits, pre-designed patterns, commercially available molds, or AI-generated work). Out of respect for those facing food insecurity, the center discourages work made of food.
