press release:
Competition and Community Event: Interpreting “Intentionally Welcoming” Community. Due dates for proposals from 2D, 3D, digital and performance artists are due by Sept 10th - 15th. Over $2,000 in prizes. Emerging artists and youth groups are especially encouraged to participate! The public events will be held Friday October 2nd and 3rd at the Hops Museum and on the proposed site of an “Intentionally Welcoming Cohousing” neighborhood at Union Corners on East Washington Ave. Contact Susan@DesignCoalition.org for submission guidelines.
The Challenge: Adopting the motto “An Intentionally Welcoming Community” is not enough to overcome the uncertainty or even fear that some people in historically marginalized groups live with every day. Our challenge to artists is to interpret and represent the idea of “Intentionally Welcoming.” This event is sponsored by Design Coalition Institute, in partnership with the Witness Tree Artists Collaborative; the Urban League of Greater Madison; Movin’ Out; Freedom Inc.; Call for Peace/A New People Emerge; and OutReach Community Center, with support from Cohousing at Union Corners; the City of Madison; the Hops Museum; and the Madison Children’s Museum.
