Call for Artists:
Eco.Art Extravaganza 🎨

As we continue to witness ecological crises unfolding, artists can play a unique role. Artists help educate us about how serious our challenges are, while at the same time imagining innovative solutions.

Our second annual Eco.Art Extravaganza will take place this September. If you are an artist, we invite you to join our event by submitting artwork!! See below for details on how the Eco.Art event works, and feel free to share this announcement with your artist colleagues and community.

📅 Deadline for Artwork Submission: August 25, 2023

Guidelines and notes:

1. All artwork should be eco, meaning it should be made using recycled materials OR it should convey an environmental message.

2. All artwork will be displayed in our virtual gallery and all artwork will be for sale through a silent auction.

3. Artists will get compensated for their artwork. We ask artists to indicate the price they want for their artwork and our auction will start the bid a little higher than your asking price to support our fundraising efforts.

4. At this time, we are seeking artists who are based in the US.

5. NEW THIS YEAR: In addition to visual art, we are looking for performing artists to participate in our in-person extravaganza taking place September 30 in Chicago, IL.

Whether you are an established artist or someone exploring your creative potential, we encourage you to channel your passion for the environment into your artwork. By sharing your unique perspective, you have the power to ignite change and foster a deeper connection between people and the planet.
