Celebration of Life: Affirmation, Remembrance, & Activism
Exhibition and Silent Auction
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Please forward to your friends/colleagues.
The Institute for Community Research (ICR) and the Connecticut AIDS Resource Coalition (CARC) are partnering with the Hispanic Health Council and other local agencies in seeking creative individuals who are infected, affected or working in the field of HIV/AIDS, artists (emerging, mid-career) and youth [ages 13-21] to donate artwork for exhibition and auction to "Celebration of Life: Affirmation, Remembrance, & Activism."
“Celebration of Life: Affirmation, Remembrance, & Activism” honors those who are living with HIV/ AIDS, and those who have died, and is a call for prevention and sustained support and care for people who are affected and infected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This is an open call for works of art in all mediums. The work will be exhibited at the Jean J. Schensul Community Art Gallery at ICR, in Hartford, Connecticut.
The exhibit will open on November 30, and run through December 21, 2007. The opening reception and auction will be held on November 30, 2007, 4:30-8:00 pm. Auction proceeds from donated work will be used to offset the costs of Rise [Up] Lift, a series of FREE educational workshops, panels, and a community concert on December 1, 2007, World AIDS Day.
EXTENDED DEADLINE: All work must be ready for hanging, and delivered to the ICR by FRIDAY, 12 pm. Artists who are donating work for auction may select an opening minimum bid which will be posted. The dimensions of work for this exhibition are limited to 8”x11”, for 2-D work and 12 square inches for 3-D. Bid numbers can be purchased at the opening of the exhibition and work that is purchased can be picked up from ICR on December 21, 2007.
For more information contact Colleen Coleman, ICR Artistic Director at 860-278-2044 x310, or colleen.coleman@icrweb.org. All artwork is to be mailed or dropped off to the Institute for Community Research, 2 Hartford Square West, Suite 100, Hartford, CT 06106.
