Let’s say something in light of “WHAT’S GOING ON”
Let’s create something in light of “WHAT’S GOING ON”
Let’s express something in light of “WHAT’S GOING ON”
Art speaks to the times and this is a time for
self-expression, creativity, reflection and action.
The EPAA is opening a call to all artists, photographers, musicians, poets, performers, to submit work that reflects the sign of our times. Artwork accepted showing the impact of COVID-19 on our lives, our family’s, our mental health. Front-line workers should be commended and thanked for their unwavering service during this historic crisis. Artwork can shed light on racial injustice and inequality across all communities and minority groups in the wake of George Floyd’s death, the Black Lives Matter movement, Native American crisis during pandemic and so on.
As we soon come up on the 1 year anniversary of the August 3rd tragedy where 23 beautiful lives were lost, let’s not forget them and their families. We became EPStrong that day!
Also, a shout out to the LGBTQ community where pride is Queen, rainbows are beautiful and you are welcome!
Let the “Power of ART” be a vehicle to soothe, inspire, enlighten and challenge.
