Call for Art

media release: ARTS for ALL Wisconsin (AFA) invites submissions of visual artwork from Wisconsin residents with disabilities ages five to adult as part of the annual Call for Art, an entirely free program for all entrants.

AFA especially encourages teachers, families, and support staff to submit the work of young people with disabilities in the following categories: Child (ages 5-10), Youth (ages 11-15), and Young Adult (ages 16-21). Visual artwork of all kinds is eligible for entry with our online entry form.

All submissions are juried by arts professionals who look for creativity, originality, and craftsmanship in awarding ten Purchase and four merit awards. Purchase award-winning art will be added to the CREATIVE POWER Collection, an ARTS for ALL Wisconsin Traveling Exhibition, and all awardees are invited to the 2023 CREATIVE POWER Awards Celebration on May 6, 2023, at MYArts in Madison. The exhibition provides public recognition of hundreds of individuals with disabilities each year.

All entries will be part of the 2023 Call for Art Exhibition in April and May, providing public recognition of hundreds of individuals with disabilities.
