Exhibition in Atlanta: Center for Civil and Human Rights

The Center for Civil and Human Rights (CCHR) in Atlanta, GA seeks original artwork for an exhibition titled "Learn Promote Defend." The mission of exhibition is to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) through visual arts.

Selected artists’ works will be part of an exhibition and silent auction to be held in December in Atlanta, GA. In addition, six (6) accepted artists will be awarded the opportunity to participate in a billboard public art project in coordination with CCHR planned for the Atlanta Metropolitan area to begin in 2009.

Interested artists should interpret one or more articles of the UDHR (the preamble and thirty articles may be read at www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/eng) and provide a Resume and Artist’s statement. Entries will be accepted in all two-dimensional visual arts media, including, but not restricted to: painting, drawing, watercolor, weaving, photography, prints, video, film and digital animation. The work entered may be traditional, representational or more experimental, but it must be based on one or more of the articles of the UDHR. Each artist may enter up to three pieces. All entries must have been conceived and created by the artists submitting the work.
