(2020 pick) All artists want their works to be seen and appreciated, to head out into the world. The Artists Beyond Boundaries competition and fundraiser makes that possible via this program from Access to Independence. Artists with disabilities have already been invited to submit works of art to the competition. Tonight, participants in the virtual gala can see all the art submitted, learn which 12 works a juried panel chose to be included in the group's 2021 calendar and vote on the "people's choice award." More info on donating, participating and voting here and view the livestream here. (Pictured is artist Blake Edison.)
press release: Artists Beyond Boundaries is an art event celebrating the talents of artists with disabilities living across the state of Wisconsin. This year’s fundraising event will be completely virtual!How does it work?
From June 1 to August 31, 2021, artists with disabilities of all skill levels are invited to submit up to two works of their art for a chance to win one of thirteen cash prizes. Because this year’s event is virtual, we will be asking artists to submit one high quality JPEG image of each piece they wish to submit.
Beginning in September, ACCESS will work with jurors from various visual arts organizations to determine which 12 works of art will be selected to win $200. These works of art will also be featured in our 2022 Artists Beyond Boundaries calendar!
On October 7, we will host a FREE live-stream gala featuring ALL of the artwork submitted to the event as well as announce this year’s top twelve works of art. This live stream event also serves as a fundraiser for our agency, and attendees will have the opportunities to make donations throughout the night. All money raised will go towards the programs and services that we provide to the people we serve!
Following the live event, we will ask viewers to choose the thirteenth and final winner by voting for the People’s Choice Award. All artworks submitted by artists who have not already received an award, are eligible for this prize. The People’s Choice Award winner will have their artwork featured on the Artists Beyond Boundaries calendar cover. The People’s Choice Award winner will also receive $200.
