Call for Artists for The ArtsUnited’s Ribbons for the Children Art Program

ArtsUnited is accepting applications for the third annual Ribbons for the Children Art Program. The program is a benefit for the Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center (CDTC) in Fort Lauderdale. The CDTC treats pediatric AIDS patients as well as many other illnesses effecting children.

Artists are invited to produce an original visual art piece that reflects their creative interpretation of the AIDS Ribbon. The art will be collected by ArtsUnited at drop off and then will be donated to the CDTC. The CDTC will select some of the entries to be reproduced to make note cards, prints, etc. to be sold throughout the year. All art work will be displayed at a reception, where they will be auctioned as a benefit for the CDTC. The reception is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2008 in Fort Lauderdale.

Because the display specifics are not finalized, we ask that all submissions be of appropriate size to be displayed on a floor easel. Applications are to be submitted with the art work on Saturday, October 4th between noon and 2:00 PM at the Stonewall Library and Archives, 1717 N. Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.

Applications for this event are located on the Download Page. For more information, contact artsunited1@aol.com.
