_________________________________________________________________________
We are looking for artists to participate in our Art for Action event who can reach out to our attendees both visually and emotionally through all forms of art, including but not limited to:
- Fine Art
- Sculpture
- Photography
- Textile Art
Although all forms of art will be considered, we especially welcome pieces that creatively speak in some way to the issue that ‘Art for Action’ is focused on. Ideally, art exhibited will stimulate open and inspiring conversation that can help break down stigma and drive personal action.
Cost and Sales: There is a low entry fee of $25 to submit up to 3 pieces of art. NCAPDA will process all art sales and retain a 15% commission plus a 3% credit card fee (if applicable).
