Calling all local artists and participants!
This February, the Thames Art Gallery and ARTspace are pleased to announce their plans to observe and recognize the contributions of Black Culture by inviting the CK community to contribute to a participatory artwork. This year's theme is "Celebrating Black Lives". The gallery asks that you complete a work of art on the theme in any media. Feel free to paint, draw, design, or write. Once complete, please carefully photograph your artwork, and email to ckartgallery@chatham-kent.ca. Gallery staff will print and assemble the works into a community art "quilt", and the installation will be on public display in the ARTspace window for the month of February. A maximum of two works may be submitted by each artist. Please include your full name, the town you come from and the title of your work(s). Submission guidelines are here to download.
A donation will be made for each participating artist involved to support the distribution of the film “The North Star: Finding Black Mecca.”
